Title: OLD HYMNS, NEW TUNES, EXCEPTIONAL MUSIC
Review: This CD combines the lyrical strength of old hymns of the faith and spiritual songs (rather that choruses that repeat themselves over and over and over and over and . . . ) with Jars' fresh acoustic folk-pop musical style. And what a combination it is! The beauty of this work lies in three facts. First, they are not working in isolation. In fact, five of these songs grow out of their association with the music ministry of a Belmont university campus and a local church in Franklin, TN. Second, the music matches the hymn and song lyrics as far as tone, emotion, and singability is concerned. Third, Jars' vocals and production continue to improve and sometimes even amaze. A few of the vocalizations, in fact, have a "Beatlesque" sound to them. In other words, this is one fine CD that will only get better with repeat listenings! Enjoy!
