Reviewed by Ken Hancock
This is the first CD from this Oxfordshire group of singer/songwriters/worship leaders from Abington, Oxfordshire. All profits from the sale of the disc will go to Tear Fund's HIV/AIDS Disaster Appeal. There are eight tracks here, with songs of various styles. It was recorded, remarkably enough, not in a studio but a minister's study, and all credit must go to Danny Wignall who did the recording and production for an excellent result in less than ideal circumstances. The album has mainly a folksy feel to it, although the music turns rocky on occasion, with a strident electric guitar on the title track. Lead vocals are by Lindsay Lonchar and Pete Sene, with Rebecca Harrisson on track six only, a contemplative piece called "Clean". Rebecca possesses an attractive voice and I would like to hear more of her on any forthcoming releases. Lindsay's voice though doesn't seem to suit some of the songs too well and sounds a little strained at times.
