Jeremy Camp
We Cry Out (BEC Recordings)
FOR FANS OF: Aaron Shust, Todd Agnew
QQQ
His 2004 worship project was packed with
emotion and energy and while his newest
record lacks the flow and originality he
first demonstrated, without a doubt, the
reigning king of Christian pop/rock still
brings an inspired album to the table. His
version of “Never Let Go” and single “Jesus
Saves” both allow his voice to shine through
in straightforward arrangements. Another
standout track, “Overcome,” affords the
listener and glimpse inside the heart and
passion of a man fully convicted by words of
truth. While Camp doesn’t necessarily break
new ground in the arena of worship, he has
delivered a solid, authentic and polished
album worthy of a spot in anyone’s worship
collection.

Sandi patty
The Edge of the Divine (Stylos Records)
FOR FANS OF: Amy Grant, Kathy Troccoli, Avalon
QQQ
On her first non-specialty record in seven
years, Sandi Patty takes some chances
and also gives fans the consistent balladry
backed by booming
vocals they’ve come
to expect. Though she
gets points for trying to
make “Faith Dancing”
lean in a club direction
reminiscent of Cher,
the luminary is much
better sticking to age appropriate material
like “When Life Gets Broken” (with Point of
Grace’s Heather Payne) and “My Prayer For
You.” Patty should also be applauded for
venturing into introspective lyrical territory,
which is further traced throughout her
companion book of the same name.

Real Life (Integrity)
FOR FANS OF: Chris Tomlin, Paul Baloche
QQQ
The latest round of
vertical tunes from
Lincoln Brewster is
mostly an up-tempo
bunch focused on
recognizing the
hand of God in the
everyday life around
us. “Reaching For You” reminds the most
of Chris Tomlin with Brewster’s solid tenor
and straightforward musical approach
doing the bulk of the work. “Real Life” holds
a Nashville country tinge and the most
personal lyrics about being a father. The
highlight, however, is “Best Days” which
kicks off the worshipful party that lasts
almost straight through Real Life.
