Summary:The tour continues through Nov. 21, and it's in support of his latest worship effort, "A New Hallelujah" -- his third worship CD this decade. [Michael W. Smith] released "Worship" in 2001 and "Worship Again" in 2002, and those two projects have sold some 2.5 million copies combined. Though Smith admitted "A New Hallelujah" is similar to "Worship" and "Worship Again" in that each CD was recorded before a live church congregation, he said the similarities stop there. "Those Eastern Bloc countries haven't been free countries for very long, and it's just a whole new dynamic over there. They're passionate about worship and finding something to believe in," Smith recalled. "It was just a lot of enthusiasm and emotions night after night, and you just feed off that."
