Review: Beautiful Things by Gungor

February 16, 2010

The Live Experience

Every once in a while a person gets to experience what will soon be known as a pivotal moment in the history of music and art. I believe that I have experienced this. It might never happen again in my lifetime, but as I sat mesmerized by the haunting and beautiful lyrical artistry painted by Michael and Lisa Gungor, I knew in my heart of hearts that this was something greater than I had ever experienced before.

Few times in my life have I ever been blown away, let alone Read more

CD REVIEW: Kyle Jones – ALIVE

January 18, 2010

Kyle Jones
ALIVE
Independent

Someone told me about a year ago that one of the “new” youth pastors in town also led worship, but our community has an abundance of gifted worship leaders, so I paid him little attention. As his debut full-length c.d. shows, that was a huge mistake.

December 17, 2009

christmas-musicWell, it’s that time of year again and I know that many of you are swimming in last-minute choir rehearsals and church presentations. So, in the spirit of a little respite, I thought I’d share with you some lesser-known songs you won’t likely be singing in your church this Sunday, but nonetheless are some of my personal favorites.

Review of GLORY IN THE HIGHEST- Chris Tomlin

December 1, 2009

christomlin_gloryinthehighestI just love Christmas. Really, I do. Except for the few months following the holiday season, I could literally listen to Christmas music for hours. (In fact I annoy everyone in my office by starting to play Christmas music on July 3rd!) That being said, I have anticipated this album’s release since February when my friends from Nashville wrote about their experience in recording this live album with Chris. Most of their comments were so powerful and exciting that I knew something special was waiting in this release.

It Might Get Loud, So Watch Your Tone

October 8, 2009

jay_setupAs I write this, my wife Leslie Brooke is driving us down the most boring stretch of highway east of the Mississippi, I-16 between Savannah and Macon, with Pearl Jam’s new album Backslider cranked up.  Two things are going through my mind as I listen to it:

Review – Jared Anderson

September 21, 2009

Jared Anderson has been best known for his work with the Desperation Band and New Life Church in Colorado Springs.  Through those ministries, you may know him as the writer of songs like ‘Rescue’ and ‘Amazed’.  I became a fan through his 2008 project, ‘Where Faith Comes From’ because, frankly, it made me smile!  His writing style is distinctively piano-driven, simple yet profound, and joy-provoking.

Don Poythress, ‘Wash Away’ Review

August 17, 2009

20090702105420_0_wash_awayFrom the start, Wash Away doesn’t look or sound like a typical worship album. This one rings with country music in a fresh and surprising way. Fresh, because most worship albums are filled with swirling electric guitars, synth, and rock drums. Surprising, because the country style isn’t led with an old-time gospel feel. It’s pushed by the tones of contemporary country/rock.
