Free Music Notes for Lay It Down
Free Music Review: 3.5 stars / towards maturity and songcraft
Hit: 3 Stars
I stumbled across Jennifer Knapp while trying to locate a sound similar to Natalie merchant/10,000 maniacs: and while there are a few similarities between Jennifer Knapp and Natalie Merchant - I do think that Jennifer has originality, and her own voice. does anybody really sound like Natalie Merchant? I mean there is the Innocence Mission, but even Karen doesn't sound like like Natalie on each song or, album.
On with the review: if you like singer-songwriter's with a sweet voice, and a gift for writing in a poetic style you will enjoy this album. I listen to this disc and find it to be a worthy addition to my collection,
Note: it advances a Christian point of view, yet, I do think all people who have a fondness for poetic verse, together with, folk music will enjoy this CD.
Lastly, I give one recommendation for Jennifer: I do think she should rock-it up a little bit adding percussion, some heavy drums. This is a transitional kind of album: where the artist is seeking to cover new ground - as she grows artistically and gain the maturity that is surely to follow as a lyricist -- and let's hope she adds drums and a few individuals to play Rickenbacker guitars in the fashion of Roger McQuinn and company. But, in all honesty, the girl has talent, Jennifer should have a following both inside, and outside of CCM. There is too much dreadfully mediocre music in the hallowed halls of CCM, but in spite of CCM's mediocrity, Jennifer can shine!
Lay It Down Poster
Wow. Twenty-six-year-old Jennifer Knapp has done far more than rest on her laurels for her much-anticipated follow-up to 1998's Kansas--the record is a subtle, yet stellar, leap forward. The songs have pop hooks that stick in your brain for hours; the music is tightly woven and expert, yet rarely too slick. Expertly produced by pal Toby McKeehan, layers of complimentary, warm sound surround Knapp's folk-bluesy, expressive voice like the foam atop a perfect latte. The lyrics are introspective and spiritual but they have this real-life quality to them, and that is her true gift. One has to struggle not to identify with Knapp when she sings, on "A Little More," of the struggle to live a Christian life: "A little more than I can give / A little more than I deserve / Unearth this holiness I can't earn." The only justifiable quibble is that, at 36 minutes, Lay It Down is way too short. --Mike McGonigalChristian & Gospel Music CDs
