Jody is the awesomest, March 29, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Jody Davis (Audio CD)
I think Jody's cd is the awesomest and it is nothing like Phil's cd. Jody wrote this cd about the painful reflections of love over the last 10 years unlike Phil who took his lifetime. Jody's contains rock from the 70's and Phil's is kinda like pop. Hugh differece.

Jody sets himself apart, September 15, 2001
This review is from: Jody Davis (Audio CD)
Yet another Newsboy puts the spotlight on a solo project outside the band. Jody Davis' self-titled debut exhibits his wide range of abilities, including songwriting, guitar and singing. His choice of music is rather different than the typical Newsboys sound, displaying Davis' will to make his own sound heard. The modern rock/pop tracks are heavily laced with guitar, drums and bass, with the addition of horns in some songs, contributing to the unique sound.
The subject matter of his songs never strays from a firm hope in God, seeking His presence and putting our faith in Him. His vocals are impressive, with a wide range not ever heard on any Newsboys album. A song that definitely stands out is the opening "Believe," a song with an edgy, rocking sound that sets the stage for the rest of the album. The following tracks are all enjoyable, and it's easy to listen to the entire album without skipping a song. He puts forth a substantial record, but his release may still be overpowered by his band mate Phil Joel's release, even though it's a different sound. Davis goes beyond the constraints of the Newsboys' traditional sound, creating his own sound that sets him apart from the other guys in the band.

Jody rocks!, May 10, 2001
This review is from: Jody Davis (Audio CD)
Dude, Jody was totally awesome on his cd! His lyrics are so beautiful but you can rock to them at the same time! It was something totally different from what the Newsboys are which is totally awesome! He used his great vocal range and his powerful guitar skills and there you go! a great cd! Jody rocks!
