Describe it in 20 words A studio-recorded, guitar-based album from Portsmouth-based worship leader Gareth Matthews - sometimes joyful and upbeat, sometimes reflective
Big Themes/Standout Tracks To me, the strength of this album is that it sounds like it was recorded live in the studio. To my ears, there are no fancy overdubs - this is a real band playing real music, and the live atmosphere comes across in the recording. The highlight of the album is "Holy and Pure" - whenever I feel a bit down I want to listen to this upbeat number of cheer myself up. The title track, "Three Days", also stands out as it is a jazzy instrumental with great saxophone playing.
Anything that lets it down Yes, it left me eagerly waiting for the next Gareth Matthews CD!
Who it sounds like A mixture of Martyn Joseph, Level 42 and Matt Redman.
Rating **** Great stuff
