5.0 out of 5 stars Speechless, November 14, 2002

This review is from: Rocks Won't Cry (Audio CD)

Shane Bernard and Shane Everett by far produce the best music I have ever heard. Like another person here, I first found out about them at camp (crosscamp) two years ago. Since then they have joined with the preacher of the camp and began the 'waiting room' ministries. It just so happens, that the preacher is my favorite, as his insight and approach is unique and raw.

But back to this cd. I have heard no music like it. Most christian music, like one review already mentioned, tries to imitate secular music too much. I listen to this music and I don't feel 'music industry' like I do with most christian music. I feel the joy, hope, and the beauty of God. The acoustics here are brilliant, with *amazing* rythms and harmonies. The vocals are equally amazing in their range and harmony. They are icing on the cake of this beautiful music. The lyrics are genuine, original songs of worship. And the songs with the violin are just as beautifully aranged. This is a MUST have for any Christian.

I recommend their album 'Psalms' just as much as this one. The fact that they sing actual psalms (not all the tracks, just 7 or 8 out of like 15) is just so enriching and genuine.

My best musical purchase ever (well, tied with the Psalms album)

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful lyrics and vocals, HOT Acoustic Christian sound!, November 27, 2000

I'm not one to judge an artist's skill by comparison of another artist, but in Shane Barnard's case, he's worth it. If you will, a blend of the creative Dave Matthews on acoustic guitar meshed in with the smooth harmony from Edwin McCain --- saturated with the lyrics from Shane that could only be Spirit-filled. This CD is intense! It masterfully places the words and music together to create a convicting record. Nice work Shane!

5.0 out of 5 stars Agressive Christian Folk/Rock would fool anyone, April 16, 2001

My friend introduced me to Shane Barnard yesterday, and what an impact this man has already had on me. I've always felt Christian music often falls behind secular music, but not here. This guy is amazing. He has an aggressive accoustic sound that, for me, is very reminiscent of Ani DiFranco. As far as other Christian bands go Jennifer Knapp is probably the closest thing, with Caedmon's Call falling close behind. I highly recomend this album to any Christian looking for cutting edge music, and ON A WORSHIP CD, who would have thought.
