Son of the Most High: Songs from the Voice, Volume 2 (Nelson Bibles)
Acoustic pop and alt-folkThomas Nelson Publishing and Ecclesia Bible Society have partnered together for The Voice, a multi-faceted project intended to spark interest in Scripture for a new generation through creative arts. Following an album inspired by the Psalms, Son of the Most High offers original songs based on the same Scripture that inspired Handel's Messiah, drawing primarily from Old Testament prophecy (Isaiah 9, 40, and 60), and concluding with the Christmas story in Matthew and Luke. Don Chaffer (Waterdeep) produced again and co-wrote most of the songs, along with wife Lori whose resemblance to Sara Groves on "Perfectly Fitted" is uncanny. The contributing artists are among the brightest and best in Christian music's underground alt-folk scene, including Andrew Peterson, Kendall Payne, Andrew Osenga, Matt Wertz, Tyler Burkum (Audio Adrenaline), not to mention the sorely missed Jill Paquette and Steven Delopoulos (for the extremely Greek flavored "Seventh Trumpet"). Classic rocker "Radiant" establishes Tara Leigh Cobble again as the next Jennifer Knapp. With intelligent song craft and superb musicianship through and through, this Voice is sounding stronger with every album.
