Perhaps the best so far from Bebo!

I do not think there is another artist I like more than Bebo... and this album proves why. Though he hasn't strayed from his folksy beginnings rooted in acoustic guitar, Bebo showcases a surprisingly adept reinvention towards pop on this album. There's an energy to this album, even in the middle of slower songs that hasn't always been there, or was at least hiding somewhere just beneath the more prominent rootsiness of his previous works..
From the very first note to the last notes of the closing song, this CD is chalk full of winning songs and lyrics. The standouts for me, which are hard to pick because I truly think they are all amazing, are the so-sing-along-able "Into the Day", the soaring "I Will Lift My Eyes" and the hauntingly beautiful "My Eyes Have Seen Holy" with the achingly simple yet profound lyrics, Mercy, sweep over me / Let Your tears wash me clean / Majesty, be merciful with me / For my eyes have seen Holy.
This album is truly one of his best, if not "the" best so far! View All Music And Book Reviews By chaddr | View chaddr's Profile
