I received Todd Agnew’s “Better Questions” in the mail a few days ago to listen to and review on the site. As per my normal operating procedure, I’ve been listening to it in my car and on the computer over the past few days and just letting the lyrics marinate into my soul. It’s not been a purely pleasant experience, but it’s not because the album is bad, it’s because the lyrics are piercing to what I’ve accepted as normal and expected. For example, read these lyrics from the song “Least of These”, which is probably the hardest rocking song on the album as well.Read More →

I first wrote about hearing Rand Winburn’s “Soul Seeker” album early last month. I ended up connecting with him via his MySpace page and he offered to send me a copy of Soul Seeker to review and share with everyone here. I’ve been listening to it for a few weeks now and just letting the music and lyrics soak into my consciousness and emotions. I absolutely stand by my initial impressions and review of the songs on the album I was able to hear from his website and MySpace page. If you reminisce about the electro-pop-synth sounds of the 80’s then the musical aspect ofRead More →

Working through some e-mails I came across one from ChristianMusicDaily that was spotlighting on an artist by the name of Rand Winburn. Winburn is a grandfather, yet he is like a kid in a candy store when it comes to making music.

If you remember Limahl’s song “Neverending Story” from the 1984 film of the same name, you’re going to love Winburn’s consistent synth-popRead More →

  I was contacted a few weeks ago by Tim Juillet asking me if I’d be interested in listening to his new album and reviewing it on the website. I told him I’d be glad to give it a listen and share my review on the website. I received the album in the mail a couple of weeks ago and have been listening to it off-and-on ever since. My standard procedure is to leave the album in my laptop or burn it to my iPod and listen to it as I’m doing a variety of things. One of the first things I thought when IRead More →

I’m sure I’ve said it before, but Yahoo Music Engine is the musical portal of choice at our office during the days. I’ve noticed that Matthew West has been getting some exposure on their site, you can see me highlighting it in the image above. A recent article I was reading also talked about Matthew West’s newest release, “Something to Say”. I didn’t realize he was as prolific a songwriter as he was with some really big name clients on his repertoire: Rachael Lampa, Billy Ray Cyrus, Rascal Flatts and Mandisa. Chris Well said this about the album in CCM Magazine: The album’s opening notesRead More →
