What is in my stereo?

I am 17, going on 18 and I dont have an i pod. Some may say I am out of touch, stodgy, un-willing to change, or what ever. But actually they are are wrong. I just haven't gotten around to droppin some big ones on an i pod. Thats all. So, the big question, What is in my stereo?

Joshua Redman: Beyond

Joshua Redman is a master saxophonist. I mean straight up pimpin! This cd is modern jazz at its best. When I put it in my stereo, immediately I was blown away with this guys tone, and over all sound. And I am a drummer. I dont care about that stuff! But this guy, this guy has got it. I dont exactly know what it is, but he's got it. And I like it. The funky rythms, hard bop roots, tenor solos and heads, oooowwwwwww eeeeee. It is enough to keep my ears pleased 'til I return it to the library on the 25th of this month.

Charlie Hall: Flying into Daybreak

Charlie Hall's name began getting out into the industry when he began working with Passion. He is an passionate worship leader, creative song writer, and innovative song composer.

Even though it is a hard call between, Crower and Wickham, I think that Charlie Hall is my favorite worship leader.

He always seems to write and sing the things that are rushing through my head and heart, but that I cant figure out how to express in words.

When Charlie comes out with a new song, and I am like, "Yess! That is what is going on inside of me!! Now I have an outlet to express it to God." For instance there is a song on this album entitled, All my love. There are a few lyrics that I just love, because they are exact things I am thinking, but just dont know how to express.

I can't perceive or understand the kindness of your hand or the mercy in your eyes as you forgave my crimes. You made daybreak through the night, you made my heart to shine. I took my breath, you gave me life, I could not see you gave me sight. Your fellowship is free, you hold on to me, you washed me the truth. You made this desert bloom.

So that is what is blasting out of my stereo for now. I will do more posts like this later on.
