Reminds me a lot of Nicole Nordeman (this is a good thing - in voice and in two of the songs) The album is labeled "Rough Demo" but honestly - the recording is not bad at all. Much like other times I have reviewed I really like the REAL sound you get when you have not cleaned EVERY bit of 'real' out of it. Her voice is pure in this, very ... beautiful honestly.
I had to listen to some of the tracks("In Your Shoes" and "Pick Up Your Crosses") a few times, just because they are SO DEEP - so many points and thoughts in each little song nugget! Good thing is that listening to them over and over was neither annoying or torture, it was totally enjoyable!
Stand Outs:
"In Your Shoes" - Odd to think of walking in the shoes of Jesus. Usually this statement is used to put you 'into the life' of someone you look down on, but really just do not understand (much like I talk about here) Even so - the statement fits wonderfully, not because so many look down on Christ, but that to 'walk in ones shoes' we are to experience their lives - and that is really what Christ wants. He wants us to experience as He would - He gave up His life for us, so we COULD walk in His shoes. Love this!
"Pick Up Your Crosses" - Almost a story about finding Christ - Almost a testimony - Almost a cry for the lost to be saved - Almost a cry to cry for the lost (and all of those things!) laying the right stuff down, and picking the right stuff up ... On one hand, totally complicated - On the other, SO SO EASY. I have an art project I did dealing with this a little bit (here)
"Work of Art" - Seeing the beauty in yourself is SO crucial to positive attitude and this song has it in spades!
"Forget" & "Toledo" & "Best In Show" - Three songs about finding guys (maybe the same guy, no clue) very nicely played and sung - really enjoyed the songs, but the words are awkward to me (ummm cause I am a guy, lol)
