#Review of @RickLeeJames New Hymns #BackerBenefitsReview #JustBeingHere #Hymns

 

 

I interviewed Rick a good while back when Comments on Christianity was still up and running. We talked about an album he was wanting to create and the GoFundMe to support it. Gofundme.com/hymns He has been hard at work on it, though there is still need of funds if you are willing to help out. 

Being a backer I was privileged with receiving three of the songs ahead of time to "check them out". 

These were rough cuts of each of these songs so I kept my thoughts simple:

"O God Our Help" (4/5) - Interestingly this has an undercurrent of a rock feel to it. What I mean by this is that the vocals are nifty as they still carry the weight of being heavy worded hymns, but then are layered on top of some semi-rock like instrumentation. 

"The Invitation" (5/5) - Beautiful piano backing... vocals that just usher you into a worshipful attitude. A great way to bring this message forth. No holding back this is my favorite of the three. 

"Watchman" (4/5) - The instrumentation flows nicely.. I certainly like the acoustic elements. The song is common for the "watchman" songs I have heard from other artists.
