FIELDS
OF GRACE
Big Daddy Weave / Fervent Records
Fan Appeal: Tweens to Adults
Big
Daddy Weave is Fervent
Records best-selling band. In 2002, their
debut CD, One and Only, debuted in the top-5 at Christian SoundScan and
stayed on the charts all year long. ( I
can hear “In Christ” echoing in my head as I write this!) As a result,
everyone is wondering how they will follow up with their next project, FIELDS OF
GRACE. Let me tell you, there is no
comparison. I enjoyed the debut CD,
but there's something really special about this disc.
With an
edgy, live sound--perhaps as a result of Fervent allowing them a hand in the
production of the album--FIELDS OF GRACE will not disappoint BDW fans. From
driving worship anthems, like “Everything You Are” to a beautiful acoustic
ballad, “Completely Free” you will be moved by the music and more so by the
inspired lyrics.
“Set
Me Free,” the first track, is a fun, syncopated rock piece that demonstrates
the band’s experience with real vulnerability as a Christian, but with the
knowledge that God is only a prayer away, and big enough to break the chains
that bind us to our sinful ways.
The whole project is fun and captivating and will surely end up on your must-have list. I can see many worship leaders incorporating these songs into their worship services as well. I highly recommend BDW and FIELDS OF GRACE to anyone who likes FFH and Dave Matthews Band or even Sting.
