Review: Dwell by Aaron Keyes

June 24, 2011 by 15 Comments

Thanks to Rob Rash for sharing this review of Aaron Keyes’ latest worship project, Dwell.

Aaron Keyes has produced a fantastic album for personal and corporate worship.

It’s Solid. It’s Sound. It’s Beautifully Crafted.  These are only a few of the many phrases I could use to describe Aaron’s second release, Dwell, from Kingsway. Produced by Stu G (Delirious?) and John Hartley (Matt Redman, Rebecca St. James), this album does not fail to yield songs for the church and songs for the heart.

Aaron Keyes Interview Part 2: “Are We Really Worshiping?”

January 18, 2011 by 6 Comments

In preparation for the international re-release of Aaron Keyes‘ last CD, NOT GUILTY ANYMORE, Kingsway Records had contacted TWC to request an interview. Knowing that I’d occasionally led worship at Aaron’s church, Fred McKinnon – founder of TWC – suggested that I take this on.   Aaron came into town to lead worship for SuperWow over on Jekyll Island, which is practically next door, so I snagged the opportunity, and what an interview it was!  You can see Part 1 Here.  Sadly, a number of technical delays led to the loss of some alternate footage, but I have the continuation of the interview right here as we discussed issues that concern us regarding the current state of “worship” and ask the question, “Are we really worshiping?”  In Summary, Aaron says, “We’ve got to do more than lead songs – we’ve got to lead people.”

Aaron Keyes “Blessing And Honour” – Story Behind The Song

August 25, 2010 by 4 Comments

Blessing And Honour by Aaron Keyes

The song is from his debut album, Not Guilty Anymore, that releases TODAY and which Foursquare.org says is “a rich and rewarding release from Aaron Keyes that spans the centuries to deliver a powerhouse of worship…Keyes does not offer us trite phrases and clichéd language, but instead presents the words of a true worshiper grounded in solid theology and love for Jesus, which lends a hymnic quality to the whole album…this album will be a treasure for those who find it.”

A few years ago my band was leading worship and we began to flow into singing prophetically, singing new songs, and this chorus spontaneously came out, “Blessing and honour, glory and power, be unto your Name oh Lord.” I kept singing it over and over, and the presence of God was really stirring in the room. Sometime weeks later I was meditating on Proverbs 18 where it talks about the Name of the Lord being a strong tower, and I was also looking at Psalm 22:22 (which speaks of declaring the Name of the Lord in the great assembly) and Philippians 2, how the Father has given his Son the Name that is above all other names.

Aaron Keyes Interview part 1: “Not Guilty Anymore”

August 4, 2010 by 13 Comments

In preparation for the international re-release of Aaron Keyes‘ last CD, NOT GUILTY ANYMORE, Kingsway Records had contacted TWC to request an interview. Knowing that I’d occasionally led worship at Aaron’s church in his absence, Fred McKinnon – founder of TWC – suggested that I take this on.  Well, as it just so happened, this Aaron came into town to lead worship for SuperWow over on Jekyll Island, which is practically next door to me, so I snagged the opportunity, and what an interview it was!  I got so much great content that I’m splitting it into multiple videos to release over the next few weeks.
