A
Different Man
Clay
Crosse / Reunion Records
Clay
Crosse is back, and according to the title of his new CD he’s A Different Man. Thankfully, there’s enough of him that’s the
same to keep this disc spinning for hours in your family’s CD player.
For
instance, fans of Crosse’s trademark blue-eyed soul will find it in abundance
in songs like “No Fear” and “End of the World.” “No Fear” is
probably the most enjoyable cut on this CD, a rowdy pop/rock anthem of faith
that’s powered by funky background vocals from Chris Willis and Tabitha Fair.
“End of the World” is a tamer tune with a subtle African subtext that mixes
well with Crosse’s voice.
For
ballad lovers, Crosse has included melodies like the muted, thought-provoking
“What Would You Do for a King?” and “More Like You”—a song of
prayerful praise and commitment to God. Other winners on this album are the
bluesy “Memphis” and the wintry testimonial, “Sinner’s Prayer.”
In all,
Clay Crosse may be A Different Man,
but he’s still making great Christian pop music. Recommend this one with
confidence.
