5.0 out of 5 stars Underappreciated Masterpiece lost amongst all the bad CCM, March 23, 2005

Every Song A Keeper is rare enough praise in any genre, let alone the wasteland that is CCM ("Contemporary Christian Music"--which some would, not without reason, argue is neither Contemporary, nor Christian, nor Music . . . discuss amongst yourselves).

Charlie Peacock's production is sparse and pure and timeless, bringing the focus ever on Sarah's voice, her words. And the voice speaks as much as the lyrics do, and the lyrics have just enough substance to satisfy the Christian Music Police, and just enough space between the lines for multiple layers of feeling and meaning to seep and shine through.

This is clearly an unheralded Woman of God, in an era in which the "heralded" "Women of God" are at least 95% hype, stagecraft, makeup, and rehashed sunday school content. Not Sarah, she wrestles with demons, the REAL demons we all face, not the cartoon characters invoked by the Benny Hinns of our sad, sad time. She's got the cojones to live with ambiguity, to find glimpses of God where the light don't shine, to sing through laughter and tears at the same time, not for Nashville-production-effect, but because singing through these paradoxical states of expression is what it is all about when you are both a solid Christian and a solid artist. And she's both, thank God Almighty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Lovely, May 31, 2002

Sarah's CDs are my favorites--at work, to relax with in the evening, to fall asleep to at night. I had the good fortune to meet this lovely young woman and her family through a mutual friend, and it was easy to see that she puts 100% of her being into her work. The peacefulness, spirituality, and compassion of her music is an honest reflection of the artist herself. I highly recommend ANY of Sarah's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still enjoying this Artist, August 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Carry Us Through (Audio CD)

I think the albums so far benefit hugely from Charlie Peacock's involvement, his musical ideas beautifully complement Sarah's distinct voice and original vocal arrangements.

I am still enjoying all the Sarah Masen albums I have. Carry Us Through would be my favourite. They all make great albums to have in the car.
