Markryan1976's Music and Book Reviews

Image
The setting to sit and write this review of  All The Saints: Live From The CentricWorship Retreat No. 1  could not be more fitting. An overcast day, a bustling streetscape and a steaming, hot, chai latte. If I sit with my eyes closed long enough, I can picture the collective of artists from CentricWorship playing behind me. As this album moves from song to song, it was as though it was recorded in one take from beginning to end. Each song seems to grow from the last, bringing the listener through a range of worship emotions—from high praise, to reflection to repentance. I wish the other patrons of this café could hear this album. I wish they could experience how a true worship experience can grow from an acapella rendition of  "Amazing Grace,"  through a variety of original songs, re-writes of classic hymns, to  "Our Father".  "The Sound That Saved Us All" —a re-write of the classic hymn, "All Hail The Power Of Jesus' Name"—stays true to...

​Made to Thrive: A Night with Casting Crowns & Friends Kevin Davis catches the power-packed triple-lineup of Casting Crowns, for KING & COUNTRY and Laura Story in Philadelphia.

Image
 "The entire night was a reminder that 'we were made to more than just survive, we were made to thrive.'" Atlanta-based  Casting Crowns  has consistently delivered music that points believers back to what truly matters, and the band does so yet again with  Thrive . Lead singer Mark Hall's new  devotional book of the same title  is divided into sections exploring the themes of digging deep and reaching out. My family and I had a wonderful evening in Philadelphia on March 2nd, singing along with three Dove Award-winning artists—for KING & COUNTRY and Laura Story—with Casting Crowns performing an opening set of songs about digging deep, and returning with a set of songs about reaching out. I spoke with  for KING & COUNTRY 's Luke and Joel about their set before the concert about the new songs, "Fix My Eyes" and "Thorn" from their upcoming album due to be released fall of 2014, the follow-up to Crave. Joel shared, "Our new so...

The White Album [remix project] by Hillsong UNITED

Image
Hillsong UNITED: the white album [remix project] is a collection of well-known songs previously released from UNITED but remixed by various mix engineers and musicians. The project includes "With Everything", "Search My Heart", "From The Inside Out", "Like An Avalanche" amongst others. Completely remixed, these innovative expressions bring to light a new creative approach to songs that are already well loved. Coming off the most successful album of their career, UNITED are more committed than ever to creating a musical expression that is almost uncomfortable in its uniqueness. Continuing to create, experiment with and expand on those musical expressions is at the heart of the white album [remix project]. Beginning with a track list of their most popular worship songs, this eclectic group of mix engineers and musicians brings these songs into today’s musical soundscape and in some cases push them into tomorrow. Always pushing boundaries sonica...
