More (2001) (compilation album)
More is the second official compilation album by American singer - songwriter Crystal Lewis, released on October 2, 2001 by Metro One/Word Distribution.
This collection stands as a definitive release, compared to her 1995 Greatest Hits compilation, but features songs from Beauty for Ashes, Gold and Fearless. The original release contained two new recordings of Lewis classics, "I Now Live" and "Shine Jesus Shine," plus three brand new tracks: the title song (and music video), "I Guess" and "Like a Child."
In later pressings, it was re-titled More - Greatest Hits. "Shine Jesus Shine" was replace with "When God's People Pray," a song written in response to the terrorist attacks that happened later that year on September 11th, which happens to be Lewis' birthday. It was originally released as a free download on Lewis' official website following the events of 9/11. More also came with a DVD that featured a behind the scenes documentary, a career-spanning collection of Lewis' music videos, and multi-angle surround sound mixes of five songs. This collection is not available on streaming platforms. The three new recordings appear on her further 2014 compilation release 25, which is available on streaming platforms.
