Classic Christian Rock album from Joseph, Angel, and the 11th hour band Album Notes
Joseph
and Angel are known for a variety of music with no-compromise Christian
lyrics bringing the Gospel in music. This "Jesus Rocks" album (released 2014) is
just that - Classic Rock with a style unique to Joseph and Angel, finishing with a heartfelt ballad on the last track
(When I See You). A first for this this album compared to our previous ones is
that it highlights the 11th Hour Band - which is our family band. They've
been in parts of our prior releases, but this album brings them all in
for the entire album as they have matured into excellent and skillful
musicians. Each of them gets to showcase with solo's in the song "The
Man from Galilee". Stephanie is on bass, Andrew on drums, Daria on
keyboards, Joseph is on guitar (and also keyboards) and lead vocals are
by either Joseph or Angel with backup vocals from Stephanie and Daria,
along with Angel or Joseph if not singing leads.
As usual,
Angel's powerful vocals shine in two favorites in particular "I've Got
the Guts" and "There is a Way" and she also brings forth her amazing vocal
talents in the other songs that she leads. Another fan favorite that
showcases both Joseph and Angel is "Curtains for You" where Angel's
vocals in the last chorus in particular where she really lets it loose.
This
album is full of favorites and its tough to pick out the best ones.
"You Really Need a Savior" is one that is powerful in both lyrics and
music. "Heaven Yes, Hell No" with its blues rock feel and it's
challenging lyrics is far from the average christian music fare. There is less "style variety" on this album than typical albums from Joseph and Angel, but the uncompromising message of the gospel is clear throughout.
