THOUGHTS:
“It’s not just an album title, Reach is our new vision-He reached for us in our most desperate state and delivered us, and He will do the same for you.”- Josh Jordan
The Jordan Family Band is back again with another incredibly enjoyable and heartfelt recording. Reach features this talented family on ten well crafted songs of hope and faith. Each member shines on this exciting new album. Alex Jordan takes the lead on “You,” which reminds us that we are to be examples of Christ in all we do. When people look at me, I want them to see you!
“Shouting In The Middle Of The Storm,” features both Josh and Randa Jordan. This catchy mid-tempo track encourages listeners that even in the darkest of times, Christ is with us. There is joy coming tomorrow! God will never leave you! Randa takes the lead on the powerful ballad entitled “God Is There,” which says the God of the impossible is never very far. God is there in the middle of your night. Nothing can ever separate you from God! Alex and Randa are featured once again on perhaps one of my favorite songs of the year so far, “You Better Get Right (Or Ya Gonna Get Left Behind).” This fun, uptempo, tune simply says: Get right with God or you’ll get left behind. The song is also the first single from the project. Josh Jordan shines on the country style song “Heaven Is Just A Memory Away.” This tender, hearted, mid tempo track tells of Heaven’s splendor and seeing our departed loved ones again. Hutch takes the lead on “No Lack Of Love,” a mid-tempo country track that simply says: do unto others as you’d have them do unto you. Spread Christ’s Love so that there is no lack of it anywhere. “Call On Jesus,” is another tender ballad featuring Randa. This incredible lyric encourages listeners to call on the powerful name of Jesus always. Say a prayer and He will be there. “Grace Is Still Amazing Me,” is a mid-tempo tune featuring Alex, Randa, and Josh. This bluegrass style track tells of the saving Grace of God. “Moving On,” is a driving country style tune that features Josh and looks toward Heaven for Earth is our temporary home. We are moving on. This great album closes with a timely patriotic tune “Old Glory Waves.” The Voices of Lee join the group on this powerful song that reminds us that we are blessed to be Americans.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
ANOTHER GREAT RECORDING FROM THIS TALENTED FAMILY! EACH MEMBER SHINES VOCALLY. STANDOUTS INCLUDE: “YOU BETTER GET RIGHT,” “SHOUTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STORM,” “GOD IS THERE,” AND “CALL ON JESUS.” GREAT SONGS, VOCALS, AND PRODUCTION QUALITY.
