THOUGHTS:
11th Hour is quickly becoming one of my favorite trios in Southern Gospel Music. The powerhouse vocals of Amber Eppinette, Jaquita Lindsey, and newest member Logan Smith come together to deliver yet another stellar recording with A Lot With A Little. This Jeff Collins produced album features eleven well crafted faith filled songs that are sure to delight listeners all over the world. This album features songs straight from the heart of each member of the group as several are co-written by Eppinette, Smith, and Lindsey themselves.
This fantastic recording kicks off with the up-tempo, high energy title track. This fun song reminds us that God can take a little and turn it into so much more than you can imagine. Amber Eppinette’s powerful vocals are on full display on this track. Jaquita Lindsey, the group’s alto, shines on the tender, mid-tempo track “Always On His Mind,” which tells of God’s faithfulness. He works in all moments of our lives. He meets all of our needs! “Love Don’t” features newest member, young tenor Logan Smith, who is no stranger to Southern Gospel having performed with the Gaither Homecoming Tour. Smith’s vocals shine on this mid-tempo track about the enduring power of Love. “Love don’t run when the troubles come.” What a powerful message! “I Know Him,” is a country styled ballad featuring Eppinette that simply praises the Lord for His many blessings. “Comeback,” is a groovy tune featuring Eppinette and tells of leaving the past behind and setting out on a new life with Jesus. I particularly loved the line: “Watch Him outshine what you left behind.” He is calling you. Are you gonna answer? Eppinette is featured once again on the beautiful ballad “How Much Broken Is Enough,” which reminds us that God is the healer. This powerful song says: “I am the healer when you need a touch/ I am the mender when life comes undone/ That’s a promise, so don’t give up/ The deeper the pain, the stronger the love/ Child I know, yes I know how much broken is enough.” This is one of my favorite songs of this year hands down. “Good,” is fun, praised filled song that lifts up the name of God for His many blessings! Smith is featured once again on “Love Leaves A Mark,” a moving ballad that reminds us that Love always remains. Smith’s vocals are simply stellar! He has come along way from that young kid singing Vestal Goodman songs. I am definitely impressed by his vocals on this CD as a whole. Eppinette takes the lead once again on “Bring On The Storm,” a well crafted, driving track that reminds us that life’s trials help us grow closer to God. You can face anything with God by your side! “Settled At The Cross,” is a powerful mid-tempo track that reminds us that Christ’s Sacrifice at the Cross settled our sin debt forever. This incredible album closes with another powerful ballad “All Glory.” This worshipful anthem praises Christ, the All Mighty, the Sovereign, the Most Holy! The group’s beautiful harmony is on full display on this incredible track.
