I wrote on my other blog - Jon's Jottings about the state of christian Music in 2008 and why so few of the artists grasp my attention these days. I would be remiss however if I did not mention two Cd's that did impact me this last year.
The first is "Freedom" by Eddie James and Ultimate Call I had the chance to see Eddie and the group in action at a local church, on their way to The Call in San Diego. Their authenticity in worship and the energy of this CD blew me away. It hardly left my player for the first month and it continues to be a choice when I need uplift and it's also great to work out to!!
The second CD is by the Latin Gospel group Salvador. Their latest offering, entitled "AWARE" is a mixture of styles that never fails to lift and move. Once again it is one I return to over again. The song "You Rescue Me" has especially moved me as it is both a great song, well sung, but also a good example of confessional worship. So little of modern cookie-cutter worship has both honesty and authenticity (for obvious reasons) and I appreciate the quality of , not only this particular song, but the entire album.
