HIS NAME IS JESUS CD by THE KING'S COURT The King’s Court is a contemporary Christian group, although they will never be confused with the pop Christian sounds of Jars Of Clay or Relient K. Instead, His Name Is Jesus sounds a lot like Christian music sounded in the years prior to when the hippies of the Jesus Movement started to let their voices be heard. With formal performances, revealing ties to opera and classical influences, these singers and players give voice and instrument to Will Goldstein’s praise and worship songs. There are no guitar solos, and listeners must strain to hear this disc's rare drum parts. Instead, there are cellos, trombones, classical guitars and other such classical elements. “I Exalt You, Lord” stands out for its sweet mandolin strums. But even though this disc also incorporates string banjo, nothing on it is anything like country music. Lyrically, none of these compositions will sound out of place in a church service -- and not just the relaxed approach that some churches only allow during Sunday nights. This is safely Sunday morning stuff. With the contemporary church’s widening embrace of spiritual rock music, The King’s Court actually sounds radical to modern ears in comparison. It’s retro worship music all right, but it’s excellent. |

HIS NAME IS JESUS CD by THE KING'S COURT “His Name is Jesus” is just one piece of a vast resource of music and songbooks that are dedicated at presenting the Gospel in a pure musical form. The music is soft and understated, leaving most of the focus on the words. There is however a wide variety of instrumentation on the CD including Flute, Cello, Harp, Organ, Glockenspiel, and various other string and wind instruments. Vocally the project is quite traditional in two and three part harmonies. Overall this combination makes for a very subdued presentation that is excellent for devotions or meditations. |

HIS NAME IS JESUS CD by THE KING'S COURT Warmly produced by songwriter, Will Goldstein in California, there’s no new-fangled, trendy material here. Rather, it is clear, direct, and honest, packaged musically in semi-classical, easy-on-the-ear innovation. So if you like your worship choruses gentle, dignified and reverent, you won't find it comes more appealing than this set-up for vocalists and musicians. It is obvious that this inspirational album has been a labour-of-love. It is highly engaging in content for quiet worshippers on platform and pew. Modestly packaged, this album won’t jump out at you in the racks but it deserves exposure. I would highlight it as an album worth searching out for participation songs as well as performance songs. This is conservative material that deserves to be cherished more than it is in this ‘hip’ generation. Where Christian music is concerned, this is the traditional seed-bed of praise music of generations past and present. Several notable songs are herewith given dignified interpretations and contribute well to the on-going modern chorus-hymnody heritage. |

| The King's Court Concerts bring peace to a weary soul. Their music has an almost celtic feel. Close your eyes and you journey to Heaven, listening to Laurie's lilting harp and angelic voice; and to Will's gentle voice and the different instuments in his capable hands. | Elna Robbins Occidental, CA |

| The music of The King's Court is a refreshing new way to praise the Lord. | Bill Rodgers Santa Rosa, CA |
| I have known Will & Laurie for many years and I know how much love, prayer and hard work went into this songbook. I have been to two of their concerts, and I have enjoyed many of their songs, especially "Come to the Cross" and " I exalt you, Lord". I don't play music, but I am a regular church attender, and when I hear Will's music I am removed from the world and closer to the Lord. I recommend that you listen to the song clips and play some of his songs. | Michal Buchmann Santa Rosa, CA |
| Will and Laurie Goldstein of the King's Court are my wonderful uncle and aunt. They have two charming, beautiful, young daughters named Miriam and Anna. Will visited my family in Montana for the Christmas break. I have had the honor and pleasure of listening to their music. So, listen and enjoy!! | Karen Hammen Missoula, Montana |
