Josh Wilson's debut album Trying to Fit the Ocean in a Cup" included the Top 10 radio hit, "Savior Please," and also included stand-out songs "3 Minute Song", " and "Tell Me". Josh's great blend of personal lyrics and catchy music emerges as a focal point of Josh's sophomore album, "Life Is Not A Snapshot". This seven-song collection reflects Josh's great ability for framing questions of faith into musical expressions of trust. Opening song "Sing" showcases Josh's guitar playing and singing skills with a song that encourages listeners to `sing to the One who is our King' with the bridge "Jesus, Jesus, our Emmanuel, God is with us now". The song gets me in the mood to start singing songs of praise in anticipation of the Christmas season, and is the current single from the album.

"Before The Morning" is another upbeat song and includes the album title in the lyrics "And hold on, cause there's good for those who love God, But life is not a snapshot, It might take a little time but you'll see the bigger picture". I also really enjoyed singing along with the great upbeat song "Listen", which reminded me of "Something To Say" by Matthew West. The ballad "Do You Want To Know" really reminds me of the great song "A Million Raindrops" from Bebo Norman's self-titled album last year. It is a very introspective song and makes you think about the needy we encounter all around us and challenges us "If you want heart of sympathy then pray to God to help you see".

I also really enjoy the song "How To Fall", another personal song and catchy melody similar to "Tell Me" from Josh's first album. Next is the intimate ballad, "Right in Front of Me", which really hit me with the great expression of faith "I want a miracle, something impossible, So would you help me to believe
When You say everything that's right in front of me, Is all the proof I'll ever need". The album closes with Josh's excellent instrumental acoustic guitar performance of the world's most famous hymn, "Amazing Grace," "We may live in snapshot moments," Josh says, "but those moments are not Life. Life is not one point in time but all of the points in time between drawing our first and last breaths. Because we have experienced the faithfulness of God in the past we can be secure in the present and trust in the One who holds the future."

Josh writes catchy folk-pop style melodies and story-songs and if you like Above The Golden State, Bebo Norman, Matthew West and Jason Gray, then you should really enjoy Josh Wilson. My favorites are "Sing", "Before The Morning", "Do You Want To Know", "Listen" and the great instrumental version of "Amazing Grace".
