    "Little girls are made out of sugar and spice and everything nice" is the impression one gets from this album's cover and promotional material. Miss Angie has a pink Bible. The free enclosed Miss Angie stickers did little to allay my fears that this is not my kind of album. The first tune shot that impression to pieces. There are guitars and they aren't acoustic.

While the project is aimed at church kids, the heavy guitars tell me that this will appeal to a much wider audience.

Turner sports a light, airy vocal delivery which meshes effectively with slightly distorted, modern rock guitars that define the band's sound. With Oran Thorton, Shawn Turner and Dan Fritz (Johnny Q. Public) sharing production credit with…
