 Brooker at his middle age best December 6, 2004
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
He is her almost what Sam Cooke was when he performed with the Soul Stirrers
A perfect voice for gospel and gospel like songs
A small string and woodwind band fucuses on the vocals
Peace in the Valley (ala Elvis) is remarkable
What can you say about a cd where Whiter Shade is the weakest vocal cut, (by Brooker)
 Pleasant, grand, and inspiring August 22, 2003

There are plenty of people who have already said kind things about this album. I won't be redundant, but I just wanted to be one more voice that agreed that this is indeed a special album.
A must have, if your a Brooker / Procol Harum fan ! April 28, 2003

Read the other reviews of "Within Our House". I agree with them and can only add........If this CD only had one single song, this version of "A Salty Dog" and the price was double, I think I would be worth it !
Come Inside Gary's House April 26, 2003

On Sept. 28, 1996, Procol Harum lead singer Gary Brooker organized a charity concert to raise funds for his local church, the St. Mary and All Saints Church, in his hometown of Surrey, England. The resulting live CD of the concert, "Within Our House," is a marvelous recording that's beautiful, uplifting & spiritual, as Brooker blends "church-friendly" arrangements of Harum classics like "A Whiter Shade Of Pale," "Nothing But The Truth," and "A Salty Dog" with Christian/Gospel numbers like "Gospel Train," "Jesus On The Mainline," and "Peace In The Valley." With Gary brilliantly leading on vocals and piano, he's joined by Harum members Dave Bronze on bass and Mark Brzezicki on drums, as well as the Chameleon Arts Choir & String Quartet. From start to finish this is a lovely live recording. Originally limited to 1000 copies, "Within Our House" is now available to all, for which Harum fans all over can be grateful. Thank you, Gary.
Glorious Music March 24, 2003

What a thrill to hear Gary Brooker's relatively unchanged voice from Procol Harum's hayday. Their music was always glorious, but these versions of "A Salty Dog" and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" made the heavens open wide. Unthinkable that these songs could ever have been improved upon, but in this cd, taped inside Brooker's church, they were. Any Procol Harum fan must have this cd. It was truly glorious. Thus speaketh the atheist.
