"Harris's piano proclivities, forged in the practice room as well as the church, recalls the jauntiness of traditional gospel, a distinctive sound too often obscured in the wake of today's penchant for atmospheric, megachurch-filling rock-infused P&W anthems. Harris, on the other hand, sits at the piano and takes listeners back to the little wooden church on the hill (or on the block) with her rolling, hand-clapping old-school Baptist and Pentecostal style ... the production for I Thank God is crystal clear, letting all the little light from the keys shine. Fans of traditional gospel music should thank God for Elsa Harris".
