Editorial Reviews

About the Artist

Comprised of Annie Herring, Nelly Greisen and Matthew Ward the sibling vocal trio known as 2nd Chapter of Acts was one of the Jesus movement¹s greatest treasures - the very rare example of a group with a completely unique sound and the native talent to outshine all secular competitors. Best know for their charismatic Easter Song its message of "Hear the bells ringing, their singing that we can be born again!" became an anthem of Jesus music.

Annie was the primary songwriter but Nelly and Matthew made additional writing contributions. Characterized by amazing vocals, angelic harmonies, complex and interesting songwriting and passionate lyrical messages, the group left their mark on audiences all over the world in their 20 years of concert touring.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Concert Recording, March 29, 2007

By 

Indiana Jeff Reynolds "Preacher Jeff" (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How the West Was One (Audio CD)

This is the second of three live recordings 2nd Chapter of Acts did. The first was a two album set with Barry McGuire taking 2/3 of the concert. The third was with Michael and Stormie Omartian, with 2nd Chapter having 2/3 of the concert. This one has 2nd Chapter of Acts and Phil Keaggy splitting it 50/50.

2nd Chapter opens up with the first four songs. For those who don't know, Phil Keaggy played guitar on the second studio project of 2nd Chapter of Acts. Phil's solo on "Hey Whatcha Say" is awesome. Phil then does the middle portion, with 2nd Chapter of Acts coming back and finishing the project.

When this was recorded, both groups had two albums out. Phil did "Another Try" from his third album (a version different and better than the studio version), and Annie Herring did a pair of songs from her first solo album ("Dance With You" and "Grinding Stone"). Original songs to this project included Phil Keaggy's "My Life", the Matthew Ward solo "Psalm 61", and Annie's solo "Receive".

5.0 out of 5 stars A favorite live album, August 8, 2003

This is one of the best concert packages ever. Excitement, warmth, power -- it's all here. Keaggy and A Band Called David get progressive on "Rejoice" and even on "Time." The best rendition of "Love Broke Thru" and Matthew Ward at his finest!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Jesus music by some of the pioneers of the genre, July 3, 2003

By 

Tracy V (Somerset, KY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How the West Was One (Audio CD)

For music that is over a quarter century old, this album stands the test of time. My particular favorites are the Keaggy numbers, most of which are live versions of song off his first two albums. The musicianship on this album can hold its own against any music of its period, and blows away much of what is forced onto the public now. If you want to hear authentic Jesus music, when the artists were more concerned about the message than the money, give this a listen. You'll not be disappointed. Favorit song is Keaggy's 'Time', blues/rock ala Cream.
