I Thank Him, the independent debut by local act Jacobs' Ladder, rises above an amateur recording but falls short of a professional effort. The album's thin coldness speaks of limited resources and facilities, but tight harmonies and engaging grooves still reveal a talented group. Diana Jacobs, lead singer on most of the songs, has a Whitney Houston soulfulness, especially on smoother songs such as "Through His Eyes" and "Elohim." The five-member chorus joining Jacobs achieves an early-1960s soul feel, especially on "Jesus Will Never Say No," which could hold its own against such standards as "Goin' to the Chapel" and "On-Time God."
