Josh White is, in Cross Rhythms' book, one of the finest songwriting talents on today's scene. Not to be confused with the late blues and folk singer (the chap who first recorded "House Of The Rising Sun"), THIS Josh heads up the Telecast band (or, I should say, "bands"; the Telecast who cut 'Eternity Is Now' in 2005 were a completely different outfit, save for Josh, from the Telecast who recorded their 2001 debut 'The Beauty Of Simplicity'). Now 'Quiet Revolution' cements Josh's reputation as one of the most consistent composers of worship songs in the whole worshipping Church, a talent that deserves for the Spokane, Washington-based songsmith to be up there in the congregational worship field with the Tomlins and Redmans. What White does brilliantly is find words of heartfelt devotion which are simple yet seem to avoid the sentiment or cliché which clog the worship songs of lesser composers. He also shows a winning way with memorable melodies and, on this set, sensitive, organic band arrangements which have moved away from the excellent, but occasionally generic, rock arrangements of the first two albums to take a more stripped down approach with particular emphasis on piano. The effect is delightful and brings new emphasis to the husky warmth of Josh's expressive vocals. Prime cuts include the delightful opener "All Around Me" and the haunting closer "Infinite Worth" propelled by a naggingly effective piano figure. But, in truth, wherever you look you'll find finely crafted, deftly played worship music which will touch the hearts of all who hear it.

this cd is really, really good, in my opinion even better than their first cd 'the beauty of simplicity' - it is worship music (and also modern rock) that can lift you up in times like this - in times full of brokeness and pain for a lot of people (including myself) - sometimes you here something and it draws you closer to God when you really need it and this cd is like that - for me it is the best worship album that I have heard this year
