THOUGHTS:
The beloved Steeles make their StowTown Records debut with A Song To Remind You. This seven song CD produced by the legendary Wayne Haun delivers in all aspects. Jeff, his wife Sherry, and their son Brad provide listeners with the message of hope on this stellar project.
The CD opens with the mid-tempo groove “Glory” which simply praises Christ for all He has done for us. “The Journey” reminds listeners to trust in Christ and His plan for your life. Sherry takes the lead on the powerful ballad “This Is The Church,” which tells of the inclusivity of the Church. Come as you are. We are all flawed. Our message is Love. The doors are open to all. The Jeff and Brad penned “What If Jesus,” is a poignant lyric that challenges us to see Jesus for who He really is. What would the world be like if we all remembered why He died. This powerful song asks God to bring us together and closer to Him. “Faithful Once Again,” featuring Brad Steele, tells of Christ’s faithfulness and His power to save. The trio shines on the groovy title track which reminds us listeners that Christ’s Grace will see you through. He sees you and knows you by name. He Loves you! This short but stellar album closes with another powerful ballad entitled “The God I Know.” This beautiful song encourages listeners to trust in God whose Love is always there to pull you close.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
THE STEELES DELIVER YET ANOTHER INCREDIBLE CD FEATURING POWERFUL SONGS OF HOPE AND FAITH. STELLAR VOCALS, MOVING SONGS, AND TOP NOTCH PRODUCTION QUALITY. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: “WHAT IF JESUS,” “A SONG TO REMIND YOU,” AND “THE GOD I KNOW.”

SONG LIST:
THOUGHTS:
The exciting family harmonies of The Browns are back! The family’s brand new project Brave features seven new songs of hope that will delight listeners everywhere!
This incredible album opens with the catchy title track co-written by Scotty Inman. It simply encourages listeners to be bold in their faith. Take the Gospel as you go! “Passing It On” is a stripped down country styled track that encourages us to show His Love and pass on His blessings to others. Next, Michaela takes the lead on the mid-tempo “Little Fires Everywhere,” which encourages listeners to be a light in this dark world. Spread His Love to all people! “Better Off There,” the group’s latest single, is already climbing up the charts! This powerful track tells of peace and joy a loved one feels as they go on to Heaven. “We all miss you here, but you’re better off there.” Next, the group covers Andre Crouch’s “Take Me Back,” which asks God to bring me closer to Him as on the day He saved my soul. Michaela takes the lead again on the powerful ballad “Not Even For A Moment,” which speaks to God’s faithfulness. He will never leave you not even for a moment. This stellar album closes with the groovy “Shelter Of The Rock,” which simply invites listeners to find shelter in the Loving arms of Christ!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
BRAVE IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE BROWNS BEST ALBUMS TO DATE. INCREDIBLE VOCALS, POWERFUL SONGS, AND TOP NOTCH PRODUCTION QUALITY. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: “SHELTER OF THE ROCK,” “BETTER OFF THERE,” AND “BRAVE.”
