‘That’s the Way God Planned It’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. On That’s the Way God Planned It album, Billy Preston have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Since completing 2005’s ‘Do What You Want’, Billy Preston fulfilled their contract with SixSteps records and where under no obligation to release another album. This is my first Billy Preston Album and i must say i am blown away.
Music in I Want to Thank You is amazing as in all tracks of That’s the Way God Planned It. Everything’s All Right is cool and different song. She Belongs to Me hits the heart. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Morning Star the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. This track is a fabulous selection of easy listening, suitable for any age, taste or occasion. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Billy Preston. What sets Let Us All Get Together Right Now apart is Billy Preston’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. This Is It which is my favorite is a truly Billy Preston sounding song. Keep It to Yourself is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through That’s the Way God Planned It. That’s the Way God Planned It, Pts. 1 & 2 is perfect. I hope to keep hearing Billy Preston works for a long time to come. As I Get Older - For me, this is the best of the album. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with That’s the Way God Planned It [Alternate Version].
