Album Notes: Personnel: Joshua Redman (soprano saxophone); Chris Cheek (soprano saxophone); Dewey Redman, Joe Lovano (tenor saxophone); Christian McBride, Larry Grenadier, Reuben Rogers (bass instrument); Eric Harland, Ali Jackson, Brian Blade (drums).
Album Reviews: Down Beat (p.70) - 4 stars out of 5 -- \"Redman has always sought the most inspiring sparring partners. Here he has another superb interface with Joe Lovano on Wayne Shorter's 'Indian Song.'\"
Advantages: You will definitely love the Album... Disadvantages: You might empty your purse buying all the other U2 albums after...
...Joshua Tree is definitely one of U2s best, but definitely is by far the most popular, The Album Includes the Hits that made U2 where they are today, and helped them to go far in the American market...by going platinum as almost soon as it was released....
The Hits Include 'Where the Streets have no name','Still havent found what I'm looking for' and 'With or without you'...
Along with Super beautiful traks such as 'God's country','Red Hill Mountain' overall I loved all the traks, The Lead singer 'Bono Vox' is amaizing... and the when you hear the backing guitars it will send shivers down your spine...
If you dont have Joshua Tree on your CD rack then you are definitly missing something.......

Advantages: Brilliant Worship Music with meaning behind the lyrics. Disadvantages: None
...This CD is brilliant. Every song is quality. All the songs have been recorded live from his US tour.
Below is a review of all the tracks:
1 - Blessed Be Your Name - Great track. Won a Dove Award in America for Best Song. 5/5
2 - Holy Moment - A worship track praising God. 3.5/5
3 - Once Again - Beautiful song which really sticks in your mind. Unfortunately, in my opinion, there is better versions of this song on other Matt Redman CD's because it is quite quick on this album. But it is still very decent. 4/5
4 - Heart Of Worship - This is what Matt is all about, he has the heart of worship and really tries to spread that to others and he is succeeding. He may not be the best singer or guitarist but he has the heart of worship which many Christian bands/singers miss and that is what makes him so good. Brilliant...

Advantages: His voice Disadvantages: Too few songs
...? (duration: 2.42)
"you're sitting in your chair no ones around
your lights are turned down low "
The last song on the album and it is very reflective and I think it is great song to end the album with. I like the way he asks at the end 'end it all, do you wanna?'
CONS
~~~~
The album length, I think it is just too short. It is over before I can say 'I should know who I am by now'.
PROS
~~~~
Where do I start? Besides the length, there is really no downside to this album. It met up to my expectation, it has great lyrics and his words are carried beautifully by his awesome and soulful voice.
BUY THIS IF YOU LIKE
