Review

Arends showcases her best here from three studio efforts, not to mention two new tracks and five live ones recorded at Nashville's famed Blue Mountain Cafe. Too pop to be folk and too soft to be rock, her music rests somewhere in between, all the while drawing references to both. As a songwriter, Arends employs ideas from early contemporary Christian music with a modern sensibility, evidenced by her single "They'll Know We Are Christians." The smartly tailored arrangements make this so much more than a simple remake. "Father, Thy Will Be Done" is one of the simplest yet clever singles to be released in the CCM market. The call-and-answer verse and steady-beat rhythms leave you with an irresistible melody. The five live tracks are quite pleasing, especially "Go with God," enhanced by Phil Keaggy's masterful lead guitar. It's clear that Arends excels in the live setting, giving color and breath to her material and making her a must-see if she plays a venue near you. Third Day fans may also like this release, considering Mac Powell's appearance on the live "Seize the Day." --Michael Lyttle
