in What We Are Listening To
In David Crowder Band’s last offering there are really four albums. The first tracks are a Gregorian mix between an old school Catholic mass (a trend through the whole album). The next few songs are a sequence of mellow beats. The next is a contemporary worship album which harkens back to Remedy, and the last songs are a tribute to A Collision, a bluegrass rockabilly rock show. You will like this album, I guarantee it.
Tracks: 34
Listen online or buy: This is an album to purchase and listen through several times, over and over again. Get this one digital, because if you buy the CD you will wear it out several times over.
Theme: The theme of Give Us Rest is the completion of the Christian faith. It is not as focused as Church Music, but has a variety of themes including death, love, life, and the grace of Jesus Christ in all situations.
