An album of gentle pop worship from David Reidy who will be appearing with David Evans at Cross Rhythms festival following the success of a British tour together in May. So what do you get? Well there's pop grooves on 'Right Here, Right Now', a touch of melodic rock on 'Soul Redeemer' and the soulful vocals of 'Thankyou' but then some of this is pretty intensely mellow worship. 'Jesus, You Reign', 'Blessing, Honour' and 'Come Jesus Now' areĀ  therefore all focussed and worshipful. "Lord You've Been Good To Me' gets down a little and again allows David to strut his funky stuff. Basically this album covers all bases and heads for a broad appeal and the songs are polished, well written and nicely executed. From what I hear, it's in a live environment that he really flows prophetically and powerfully. Looks like festival attendees are in for a good time!
