Bread Of Stone - The Real Life Album Review

Bread Of Stone recently signed with DREAM Records, so they re-released their album "The Real Life" with DREAM on September 24th.

Prior to reviewing this album I was not familiar with Bread Of Stone's music at all. I hadn't really even heard of the band, and that is too bad because I was missing out. Bread Of Stone has a unique pop sound, but more than that they have an amazing message that they are sharing through their music.

Dara Maclean - Wanted Album Review

Dara Maclean is a contemporary singer and songwriter from Fort Worth, TX. She just released her sophomore album "Wanted" today.

Dara Maclean has a very unique sound that she describes as "70's Influenced Acoustic Soul Meets Modern Pop". If I were to describe her music with one word I would go back to the 70's and say that her music is groovy. I never listened to Dara's previous album "You Got My Attention", so I was not sure what to expect from this album.

Darrell Evans - Awesome God Is He Album Review

The album starts off with the song "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" and from then on you are in for a treat.
