Tommy Emmanuel - Only

This is one of the best that I have heard for a long time. Tommy Emmanuel is one of the greatest guitarists of our time, and this CD is no exception.

The smooth fingerpicking is complemented by the open-sounding, reverbed, solo acoustic guitar.

For its impeccable perfection and extremely wonderful guitar, I'm giving Only a perfect score of 5 stars out of 5.

Favorite songs include "Those Who Wait," "Mombasa," and "Drivetime."

Falling Up - Dawn Escapes

Falling Up's second album, Dawn Escapes takes their sound to a new level. Although they were previously just another band in all reality, Dawn Escapes sets them apart from the rest.

With a somewhat electronic feel, and highly edited and processed tracks, mixed with synthesizers and strings, Dawn Escapes is in a world unto itself within Christian Rock.

The lyrics are catchy, though often totally incomprehensible, which is quite different than the previous release, Crashings.

Despite these shortcomings, I am giving Dawn Escapes 4.5 stars out of 5.

Favorite songs include "Searchlights," "Exit Calypsan," and "Intro the Gravity."
