Based out of Waco, Texas, the David Crowder Band has managed to land a pair of Grammy nominations and eight Dove awards since their inception in the mid-'90s, and All This for a King: The Essential Collection dutifully captures the group's rise from contemporary Christian music neophytes to one of the most successful bands in the genre's history. The anthology offers up 14 tracks, including worship staples like "O Praise Them," "Everything Glorious," "No One Like You," "Here Is Our King," and "Our Love Is Loud," along with three remixes ("Shadows [Family Force 5 Phenomenon Remix]," "After All (Holy) [Capital Kings Remix]," and " No One Like You [The Digital Age Remix]"), and one brand new cut, the stirring country-folk hymn "This I Know."
