Inspired by the praise and worship at the Supertones numerous concerts, some of the members formed a worship band along with some other Orange County band members. This release appropriately captures the intimate feeling of sitting in the front row at a church with a really solid worship team. Deep and resonating male vocals, and lots of soulful interpretation is teamed often with female harmonies, piano, bass, guitar and drums for a strong combination of traditional sound with modern flair.
These are songs we all know by heart, or will soon learn after listening to this album a few times. (Especially folks that attend any non-denominational free churches, with more modern music.) Songs like "I Cry Out," and "Lord I Lift Your Name on High," "Refiner's Fire," and "Shout to the Lord," are easily recognized, and done tastefully without being overbearing, or cliche'.
This is a worship album that will stand the test of time, because it is done in a timeless manner, without resorting to musical trends, or coming across as contrived. In the tradition of Keith Green, this is a humble, and earnest album, with memorable songs.
