fav albums

Cry for the desert: Twila Paris

  • I had always associated Twila with lite, syrupy songs that were sweet but without a heck of a lot of depth. However, I picked up this tape at a garage sale and was blown away. I listened to it every night when i went to bed for weeks.
  • The lyrics are powerful. The music enchanting and ethereal. The arrangement flawless. It's the type of experience that gets better with repetition.
  • If you want to deepen your spirituality, increase your connection with the world of the Spirit, hone your longing for your eternal home, and commune with the soul of a fellow traveler on this pilgrimage, I highly recommend this CD. 9 of 9 raters on Amazon gave it 5 of 5 stars.

love How Beautiful as well - how beautiful is the body of Christ, that song got me through many a lonely, tear filled nights.

well, im just catching up to this, having been out of the christian music sphere for 12 years by living in New England! (Out of the millions of radio stations in boston, one is christian, and it's all talk.)

A couple other comments on this album. 1) I think it is meant to be listened to as a whole. It's a "concept album," if you will. 2) I almost always listened to it when i went to bed. Something about it's dreamy quality seemed to fit that environment.
