A New Sound | Posted June-29-2010
This album has a nice country/rock sound. I really like the acoustic sound. On some of the tracks, I hear more of the country twang, on others it has a distinct rock sound, on others it is a nice mix. I think that I would enjoy many of the tracks in an instrumental format as well.
I enjoy the way John Mark expresses his thoughts, it feels like I am walking down a dusty road and feeling or sensing the presence of Jesus. I am feeling the neediness of our flesh and the yearning for Jesus to answer as He walks among us. I feel the honesty of human experience,and the beauty of our Lord, even as He dwells among us. There are lamentations, and celebration in overcoming by the blood of the Lamb.
This artist reminds me a little of Bruce Coburn, whom I enjoy very much. I think this is a very nice first album, and will watch this artist as he continues to create and perform. In the meantime I will be looking for this album to add to my collection.

Wow, I really like this CD. The musical style of the first couple of songs is very different from previous CDs. It is Lively and fun. The lyrics share simple truth about the reality of our lives, and how we could/should live them. Things like doing unto others as we want done to us, or like mourning with those who mourn, and rejoicing with those who rejoice. And of course the worship to the only ONE who remains forever. Praise and worship to the One who saves us, delivers us,frees us, covers our sins and stands in the gap of sin that separates us from Our God and Father.
How can we not answer the call to be the ones to show God's love to others? This CD is like a little capsule of "how we ought to live and love", and should be taken daily as a musical reminder.
