Canadian singer/songwriter Jon Buller has a knack for producing material that explodes with life whether that's singer song writer albums or worship material. In the case of 'hear the Music Live', the concept is pretty simple! What he does is set up his worship band Freeman and some special guests and they let rip with an evocative praise and worship time. With seven cameras, a lively band and an amazing set list in his back pocket, Jon Buller has created something brilliant. Unafraid to use other people's songs mixed into his own fresh worship material, you get roasting versions of favourites like "I Have Come To Worship", "Joy" and "So Good To Me" where you can almost feel the heat coming off the stage. Other highlights include a worship remake of The Monkees' "I'm A Believer" (honest!) which falls into the instrumental passage from "Wipeout" and is very entertaining. Buller's own Celtic dance "Meet Me In The River" explodes with life. At the other extreme, there's a beautiful "Be The Centre" and a fine version of the Rich Mullins song "That Where I Am". With behind the scenes footage, plenty of lunacy and some special extra videos for you to enjoy. This is excellent stuff
