Don't let 'The Demo Sessions' title put you off. The songs on this EP were cut with a full band in Seattle with producer Brian Eichelberger (Barcelona) and very good they are too. The fact that they're offered as a free download will surely expand further the ministry of the American singer, songwriter and worship leader who, with albums like 2007's 'Free From Ordinary', has shown himself to be a powerful communicator of passion for Jesus with an emphasis on social justice. The slow "I Don't Want To Leave" is particularly strong while "Song Of Amazing Grace" has the kind of soaring melody associated with the best modern worship tracks. If you need a lift in your personal worship times or are looking for grade 'A' material for your church worship band without having to shell out on the latest Kingsway compilation, may I suggest you download this forthwith.
