CD Reviews Click here for full review This release not only doesn't follow a cookie-cutter song formula, it takes you in many new wonderful directions. This release can best be described as a multi-flavor musical journey around the globe by way of many different musical styles. You'll find every style of music from; Jazz, Pop, and Rock to African, Latin, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern on this CD. No matter what the style is the music comes across as very professionally done and filled with different layers of instrumentation on each song.
Some examples of the more unique sounding tracks are:
"Shabu Hu," which means, 'He Will Come For His People' in Arabic. It's a song which has a rich middle eastern flavor.
On the well-known church hymn, "Lord I Lift Your Name On High" the band adds a Conga flavor to make it their own unique version.
One of my favorite songs on the release is, "Thank You." While not being one of the most complex songs found on the CD the lyrics are all about singing praise to God. This song will have you both clapping your hands and stomping your feet while singing along to its easily learned lyrics.
Being a former trumpeter in my younger years in school bands I have to throw in a shout out to Joe Palmer for his nice trumpet work found on several of the songs.
Without a doubt the most poignant song is, "Big Guy" a song in memory of band founding member and friend Chester Price. The entire CD is dedicated to his memory.
Except for two of the songs all the lead vocals are handled by band member Scarlett Moore. Her vocals come across as silky smooth and comforting while still being passionate.
If you're looking for something interesting, unique, passionate and well worth your time then you should get this CD! Psalm One50

Interview With Jackson Baugh
"The Importance of Christian Music" Click here for full interview One day, we will not exist here, on Earth, but in the Heavenly realm, face to face with God. There will be music, praise & worship.
To re-cap, music was created before man for praise & worship, was meant to be used for that purpose and will exist after mankind in that capacity.
After our time here is over, we will not have the need to witness, we will never again cry over the death of a lost soul, we will never lead another to Christ. BUT there WILL BE music in Heaven.. and it will be for praise and worship.
