Free Music Notes for RipenFree Music Review: Ripe and ready Hit: 3 StarsShawn is becoming a great songwriter. I think his musicianship gets better each album. Shawn really helps me focus on my need for GOD. Personally I like his live albums better than his studio. But I bought this one and thought I would review it.
Free Music Review: One of my favorites Hit: 5 StarsEvery song is good on this CD. I could listen to it all day-nothing bad to say about it.
Free Music Review: Worth the Price of Admission Hit: 4 StarsNot as good as his last two albums, but The Rider on the White Horse is worth the price of admission alone on this album. You do not get any more spiritual than this when you hear the sound of horses galloping and imagine Jesus riding on His White horse. A haunting rythmic style that makes you look up at the heavens in the middle of sunset watching and waiting for His return. This song alone and Ramblings of a Beggar are worth the price of the CD. Don't miss your chance to be blessed.
Free Music Review: Almost as Good... Hit: 4 StarsShawn Mcdonalds "Ripen" is an album that soothes the ears and the soul. The lyrics are very real and you can tell he very much draws on personal experience with his songwriting.
I do agree with one other reviewer who claims that Shawns songs all have the same kind of sound. Although, I dont think thats a bad thing. The album isnt all over the place. It gives it a sense of unity. Its a very calm album, with only a couple being more upbeat.
I gave this album 4 stars, which I really think four and a half is a more proper rating. "Simply Nothing" one of Shawns other albums is my favorite of his. However, either album is well worth the money.
Free Music Review: From mp3.com to this Hit: 5 StarsI first discovered Shawn when his music was posted at mp3.com and immediately ordered the two cds they had available at the time, Focal Point and Live. They were amazing. I was thrilled when he got a recording contract and have bought each cd released since. This young man has such insight and depth that you just don't see in contemporary music. I've just been blown away by him from the very beginning and continue to be. In my opinion this is as good as Christian music gets, in fact it's about as good as any music gets.
