THOUGHTS:
The Wisecarvers are back with another recording! This talented family group wants listeners to see Christ and not them in their music. Their new project Silhouette features authentic vocals, great musicianship, and great songs penned by members of the family except for one. This exciting new CD is sure to be a hit with listeners.
The album opens with the powerful mid-tempo track, featuring Chase Wisecarver, “Begin With You,” which ushers listeners into worship. Let this service begin with Him! The mid-tempo track “Jesus To Me,” features Kaila Wisecarver and praises Christ our King and Savior. “Best Of Forever,’ is a powerful ballad featuring Chase that simply says: We will be together for the best of forever, because He saved me from the worst of forever! I am finally free because of what He has done for me! Kaila Wisecarver shines once again on the tender, bluegrass infused track “When You Look At Me.” This sweet ballad asks God what He sees when He looks at us. Are we reflections of Him? Fix all that sin made me. “Do you see anything that makes you smile?” Chase takes the lead once again on the title track which reminds us that we must be examples of Christ in this dark world. “I want them to see, You and not me. So the only thing that’s left is just a silhouette.” “You Have My Attention,” featuring Chase, is a powerful ballad that encourages listeners that God hears your prayers and has your attention. “Go Down Again,” featuring Kaila, is another beautiful ballad that talks about the power of prayer. It asks for a sign from God and reminds us that there is hope for us. Chase takes the lead on the traditional style groove “Manufactured Smiles,” which simply says: You can only fake it for so long, but you can’t hide the truth from God. “Love You Still,” is a mid-tempo tune featuring Kaila and Chase that simply says: No matter the circumstances, I’m gonna love YOU still! “Someone Else’s Valley,” is a tender ballad that simply says: while you may be in a happy place, don’t forget that someone else might be going through a hard time. Christ still mends broken hearts. Share Him with everyone you meet and you might help someone who is hurting. “Potter’s Wheel,” is powerful track that says: You don’t have to bear it alone. He can give you the strength to carry on. He puts the pieces back together as the Potter’s Wheel spins round. This excellent album closes with a unique version of the classic “Amazing Grace,” featuring Dustin Wisecarver on harmonica and each member on vocals.
