I'm not big into religious music, however, I still have respect for good music. This person I am highlighting, I am not highlighting for the content, but am defintily highlighting for quality.
Jim Rearick releases his first CD "Songs from the Wilderness" Some of the material was written recently, some twenty years ago, but all fit together nicely. Jim served as producer, engineer, programmer for backgrounds, as well as vocalist, and performer of all the instuments.
"I didn't like what I was hearing in contemporary Christian music, most of it seemed to be preaching to the choir" He explains further" Too much seemed to be written in language and terms only familiar to churhgoers. My songs are written out of my own struggles and my attempt to understand the "why" of things, and the faith I have gained through it all.I think these songs relate to the common guy, and I've had some feedback to that effect"
