Free Music Notes for Distant Call
Free Music Review: Time Tested
Hit: 5 Stars
To me, great music is great music, regardless of genre. Songs you hear 20 years later still sound as good as the first time you heard them - and every song on this album falls into that category. The songs are written by several talented tunesmiths, including Michael W Smith and Sheryl Crow. "Lonely River" is the best track to me, but I once drove from Maine to Maryland and back (1200 miles) and this was the only CD I played for the entire trip (despite having 30 or so in my CD case). The true test is that every single person who has ridden with me while this CD was playing has asked who it was, and has subsequently bought the album (to my knowledge). I just wish Susan could have followed it up with something as good - maybe this is her magnum opus.
Distant Call Poster
A Distant Call represents Susan Ashton's most polished work to date, and it's no wonder, considering the 1996 release was produced by three of the best in the business--Wayne Kirkpatrick, Brown Bannister, and Michael Omartian. The rolling melodies in "You Move Me" and "Body and Soul" provide a lush soundscape for Ashton's magnificent vocals. She can growl in the gritty rocker "Crooked Man" or serenade you with the lullaby-like "Spinning Like a Wheel." And for good measure, Ashton goes country in "Love Profound," which features the expert strings of Alison Krauss. The song selection for this release may not be as strong as Ashton's self-titled 1993 gem, but it's still better than most. --Michael LyttleChristian & Gospel Music CDs
