5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational!, March 4, 2001

This review is from: At The Water's Edge (Audio CD)

I know Bill, his wife Kathy and his brother Fred, from high school and have always been interested in Bill's music. When I heard that the band was doing a live performance, I knew I must go see it. I was caught off guard by the Christian beliefs that are very apparent in the lyrics and yet I welcomed the message whole-heartedly. I was moved by the music immediately and could not stop my foot from tapping, my hands from clapping, or somehow moving to the music. The songs are motivational and insprirational, not only in their lyrics but also in the music. The harmonies and rhythms are a wonderful combination of many different styles of music that have been successfully blended together to create a unique and awsome collection of songs. I bought the CD after the first half of the show, without even hearing all the songs, and now I listen to it almost every day. The lyrics speak to me and situations that occur in my life, while the music is up-lifting and yet soothing. Listening to 'At the Water's Edge' always improves my mood and it has become one of the favorite CDs in my collection. I can hardly wait for the next release. I am so happy for Bill, and everyone involved in the band, that the years of hard work have paid off with such extraordinary results!

That is the best way to describe the music of the Bill Welch Band. Having heard one of their songs being played on a local jazz/blues station I was smart enough to go and hear them in concert. I had no idea that they were going to play music with a heavy emphasis on their Christian beliefs. As a Unitarian that might have kept me away. All I can say is that I was blown away by their intense talent and spirit. They took me totally by surprise and I am now a huge fan. Their cd is top notch and would be a super addition to anyone's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great soulful music, November 10, 2000

I have been waiting 3+ years for this CD to be released and it has been worth the wait. When asked to pick a favorite it is very hard because most of them are my favorites but I do have to admit there are few that I just can't get enough of. 'Here you are again with me' - the addition of strings to this song, that I have heard live many times, has completed a love song that was already incredible. 'I will wait for you' reminds of the times I need to just hang in there and wait for the good parts of life, plus I get to hear some great harmony from the bass guy, Gene. 'All I Pray' is an inspiration for all of us who are hoping this world will be a better place for our kids. Finally, 'At the Water's Edge' simply shows Bill's great ability to put the words of God to music. It is a joy to be able to experience Bill & Friends in concert. They are energetic and just get better and better. I just hope I don't have to wait another 3+ years for the next CD.
