Where the Past Meets WOW

By wencdj,
I confess I knew little of Sarah Kelly's music beyond the Radio hit Take Me Away when I picked this album up on the Discount Table at a CBD Warehouse Sale. When I put the Disc into my CD Player I was blown away, to use a cliche.
Not your typical christian pop princess here, former Schoolteacher Kelly dares the band to try to drown her out. They Can't. Her vocals soar above the rock of Still Breathing and Out of Reach and yet she can still carry off beautiful ballads like Remember me well and Fall into you.
Most impressive to me, however is the "guest stars" she pulled in. Any Christian Musician can get Toby Mac or Audio Adrenaline to help. How many can say they had Slash on their Christian Album. Oh, and it is a Christian Album, buy the way. Despite the Naysayers who post on iTunes that this album isn't "Christian enough", I say listen to the album. There is no doubt who is the central focus of this album. To borrow a title from Rebecca St. James, It's God.
I waited until album two to become a Sarah Kelly Fan, and I can hardly wait for whats next. View All Music And Book Reviews By wencdj | View wencdj's Profile
