Free Music Review: Cindy Morgan is the Real Deal!
Hit: 5 Stars
Cindy Morgan has a unique way of delivering very catchy, unique tunes with poetic lyrics and inspirational messages. After 5 years away from recording (since 2001's "Elementary"), Cindy has returned with a gem of an album. "Postcards" takes everything we've loved about all of Cindy's previous material and combines it into one terrific assortment of songs.
Cindy's music also has had a unique way of evolving from album to album, and "Postcards" is no exception. Inspired by the dulcimer her husband gave her as a Christmas gift, the album's musical theme contains noticable elements of Appalachian style. This, interspersed with other songs on the album, give the album a unique and strong musical backbone.
What truly makes "Postcards" great is its lyrics. Poetic beauty mixed with deep, honest (at times, painfully so) spirituality, give this gem its shine. This type of honest, introspective songwriting makes this record perfect for someone wanting to dig a little deeper and who needs a good dose of personal food-for-thought.
It's a shame that this, being Cindy's return to recording, did not receive more publicity. That being said, "Postcards" is truly a diamond in the rough that you will want to play over and over again. Outstanding!
1. "Deep" 9/10: Dynamic, guitar-driven number that suberbly sets the tone and theme for the record... "deep / like the ocean you move me..."
2. "Enough" 8/10: Continues with the rock-ish theme of "Deep"... good number "hey there news man / do you have anything good to say? / so bad news sells more"
3. "Postcards" 10/10: Excellent ballad-ish number about a young woman's journey towards finding herself. With a couple steel guitar effects, this song would fit well on any country music station. "I'll get it together / so don't worry / I'll send you a postcard / from my journey to me"
4. "Glory" 11/10: Gorgeous, bittersweet ballad about heaven. Very moving. "The angels all rejoice when you are made brand new"
5. "Where You Are" 10/10: Catchy, fun, and surprisingly inspiring country/folk number "he came down to the earth / up to the cross / you're never too late / you're never too lost"
6. "Mother" 10/10: This one took a while to grow on me, but the raw, honest lyrics are refreshing coming from a Christiam artist. It goes to show that Christian musicians are not perfect and have their share of human struggles and emotions. "so speak to me kindly / and show some respect / and I promise / I'll show some to you /Oh, mother"
7. "Oh, What Love" 11/10: Gorgeous ballad about the unconditional and constant love of God. The acoustic guitar and dobro make this song very remniscent of Alison Krauss material. "Oh what love he has for you / not just when you're weary / even when you're strong"
8. "Eternal Sunshine" 10/10: Fun classic rock-sounding number about heaven inspired by a drawing of her then 4-year-old daughter. "Someone in the universe / Is waking up to see / Eternal sunshine"
9. "Dig Up" 10/10: Upbeat number with a cool piano hook throughout. An encouraging song for anyone who has struggled with poor self-perception. "Reach way down / Deep in your heart / see what you dig up"
10. "Come Home" 10/10: Great enjoyable ballad calling the outcast to come to Jesus. The ukalale on this one is an extra treat. Picture this song being played and sung on a beach surrounded by palm trees as the sun goes down. "You're not the outcast / you're who he has been waiting on / come home"
11. "The River" 10/10: Poignant, reflective piano/cello ballad that serves as a perfect closing number. A couple people have mentioned not particularly caring for this number because of its low-key, somber quality. However, I believe the song is a very appropriate approach to calling believers towards cleansing waters. "Let's dive in / like children do / and let our troubles / wash to the Father / he'll wash you clean and / make you new"
'Postcards' is an excellent effort from Cindy, perhaps the best one of her career, alongside 'Listen.' Cindy truly is the real deal when it comes to authentic, mature, top quality Christian music. Way to go, Cindy!
