Free Music Review: A spiritual dose of nostalgia
Hit: 5 Stars
2nd Chapter of Acts had an impact on my spiritual life. This project is a great collection of their ministry.
It starts of with three of their early tracks that did not make it to any of their albums, though I've heard the cover of "I'm So Happy" by their friend Jamie Owens (before she added a hyphen). It ends with three more unreleased tracks. It is a great representations, for the most part.
Why for the most part? Even with 35 selections, which would average to slightly less than 3 each from their 13 projects (3 live, 10 studio), three of those projects are unrepresented. The first live project ("To The Bride", with Barry McGuire) is unrepresented. Also, the two hymn projects (two of their final three) are missing.
I will compare this to "the 2nd Chapter of Acts' Greatest Hits", which had 12 songs. Only one of the dozen songs on "Greatest Hits" was absent from this one, the hard rockin' Matthew Ward sung "Yahweh". Also, "Greatest Hits" featured the live "To The Bride" version of Prince Song, as opposed to the studio version on "20".
Unlike "Greatest Hits", this project is released chronologically by album, though the order of the songs are not always the same as the album. For example, the first two of the four selections from "How The West Was One" were the first song and the closing medley on the original project.
There are of course omissions. I considered "Love Peace Joy" a classic, but it was neither in this collection or in "Greatest Hits". As previously stated, "Yahweh" is absent from this collection. Neither this nor "Greatest Hits" include the superb title track of "The Roar of Love", though both have what I consider the lyrically weaker "Are You Going To Narnia?"
Enough criticism. This project is a blessing. My wife had tears as we listened to the first disc. The second time I listened to that disc, I spent the time singing along with all the songs. It was more than nostalgia; it was a spiritual experience.
