Free Music Notes for The Gospel Truth
Free Music Review: A car ride with susan werner
Hit: 4 Stars
When I recieved The Gospel Truth, I threw it on the front seat of my car and went to pick up a friend. He put the album in the CD player and from the very first song we never said a word until the whole CD had played through. We both thought it was a terrific CD and could not stop talking about it. We played the CD 4 times on that trip, every time we heard a cut we would have different comments on the same song. Each time you listened you heard something you had not heard the time before. The varity of songs in different styles made me a Susan Werner fan and looking forward to her next album. The subject matter was rather intrigeing and unusual which added to it's interest.Free Music Review: Mean-spirited and tedious
Hit: 1 Stars
I heard Susan last weekend, touring in support of this album. It was the first time in thirty years of concert-going that I actually walked out on a performance. Her voice is lovely, or can be when she resists the tendency toward folkie tunelessness: a strong and versatile instrument that she can turn to any purpose and style she pleases. But in this album she puts it to the service of what she calls 'evangelical agnosticism', i.e. a sanctimonious skepticism that manifests itself mostly as odium toward anyone that loves, hopes, or believes otherwise, and that subjects all who disagree with her to contempt.
Even when I shared her prejudices, I could not stomach her complacency, her vitriol, her lack of sympathy, or the utter predictability of her bigotry. She sings accusingly 'your heaven is too small'; but her own world is apparently too small to accommodate people of faith, the Pope,
'creepy' preachers with wide lapels, or (I guess) any Republicans. To the fiery pit with all of them! In a word, as with extremist talk radio, those who disagree with this joyless rant will not want to listen to it, and those who agree with it *should* not listen to it: it's not healthy to have one's basest attitudes so crudely reinforced.
Free Music Review: Definitely check this one out!

Susan Werner and the Gospel Truth is truly a gem. If you know her work already, then this is a no brainer, get it and you will enjoy it. If you are not familiar with her, then you are in for a treat. Susan is a real piece of work, I saw her at the World Cafe Live when she introduced The Gospel Truth and it was a performance to remember. Don't expect to take this one to your church group, but if you have a sense of humor and appreciate the role of religion in our lives go for it!Free Music Review: Gospel Music for the rest of us -

Sunday Morning is particularly sweet.

Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is a real treat for anyone who wants creativity, honesty, thoughtfulness, originality and inspiration for their daily lives presented in tunes you can walk away singing. If thinking things through and living a right life are dear to you, you'll love this one. If you're not self-righteously judgmental and not afraid to look at yourself this CD can only delight you.
