I first discovered Bebo Norman during Caedmon's Call's 1997-98 tour. His music touched my heart from the first song to the last. I met him after a show and he is a genuinely good guy with a heart for God. His indie release Fabric of Verse is an exceptional first effort. Bebo's songwriting is heart-wrenching, his voice soulful, and his guitar skills outstanding. Especially strong songs that don't appear on Ten Thousand Days include Angelfire and Curtis Creek. Buy this album -- it's well worth any price you pay. The only thing that tops his two albums is listening to him live.

I was first introduced to Bebo's music several years ago when he was still a "struggling" artist. This cd is a wonderful journey of the soul. His lyrics speak to the most tender parts of us, yet several songs do it while remaining upbeat and quick-tempoed. The front cd cover gives a brief background for each song, giving insight to why and how it came to be. I like that Mr. Norman is willing to share that with his listeners. The music on The Fabric of Verse is mostly acoustic guitar with other instruments added as needed. I highly reccommend this cd to those who not only like excellent music, but also lyrics that make you evaluate and appreciate your own life, too! You'll also like this if you like Jennifer Knapp, Caedmon's Call and early Sixpence None the Richer.

This was an independent album and the very first release by Bebo Norman. It is very rare and hard-to-find. If you own his other albums and are interested in this one, the best place to get it is at his website, BeboNorman.com (It is only $20 and is a much better deal than buying it from a third-party vendor who is charging more because it is such a hard-to-find album.) I hope this review was helpful to you.

can worship God with such a feeling... in a recording studio? it's obvious Bebo Norman has done just that, when you listen to the feeling in his music. i especially like "the hammer holds" when you read the words, the meaning HITS you. it's great.

This album is the very first Bebo ever recorded (you might know that). If your reading this in 2007 you should know that this CD is worth a buy. If you look closly at the track listings you will notice that Fabric of Verse has three songs that reappear on Ten Thousand Days. On this Cd the three songs are all more acoustic than TTD (not sure if the hammer holds can get more acoustic). These songs are great but the original content is even better. The song Walking Away is my personal favorite, this song you will find, is unlike nothing Bebo has recorded since. That fact is sad because this song is so amazing... the song has a guitar solo that just rocks.

Plain and simple die hard Bebo fans should have this album... it does contain mostly slower, more acoustic songs. Which is fine by me.
