During his tragically short career, Garnett Silk cut a slew of songs for a variety of producers, unleashing a flood of hits before his death in 1994.
Arguably, though, his best work was done with Bobby "Digital" Dixon, the man who released his debut album It's Growing.
Give I Strength compiles another 16 phenomenal numbers recorded for the producer.
Although the set is split between cultural and romantic numbers, the former are so powerful they tend to totally overshadow the latter.
The devotional songs are all masterpieces -- "Kingly Character" and "Splashing Dashing" are both glorious, infectious celebrations of God's greatness; "Give I Strength" is a fervent, anthemic prayer, while "Silk Chant" is an inspired, and inspiring, sermon, taken directly from Psalm 68.
