"The Power of Jesus Is Real" by David Nall (Country/Gospel Artist from Fort Worth, Texas (TX))

In his latest gospel album, "The Power of Jesus Is Real," David Nall has released an uplifting and spiritual collection of songs. Nall's lyrics echo themes of inspiration and emotional teachings worshipping the Christian beliefs. His vocals are sung with deep and profound tones and are interlaced with sweet emotions. Intermingling with the gospel lyrics is the melodious and pleasant country ambiance of steel guitars and fiddle, which produces the impression of inspiring country gospel. Listen to the banjo as it plucks to an upbeat tempo in "Thank You Lord Jesus" while the harmonies perfectly unite with the lead vocals. In true gospel spirit, the guitar plays an upbeat country/blues solo on "God Can Move a Mountain" while the harmonica sings a riff of country soul. "The Power of Jesus Is Real" by David Nall is an easy listening and motivational country gospel album you will want to listen to, especially fans of Johnny Cash or Pat Boone.

"Working My Way Up To You" by Mike Koehl (Spiritual Artist from New Jersey(NJ))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Mike Koehl with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Working My Way Up To You"

"Working My Way Up To You" is a contemporary Christian rock album filled with great songs of devotion from a fantastic musician in Mike Koehl. Mike's vocals highlight the album with his great voice as the foundation and the harmony and layering bringing his talents to new heights. The overall sound of the album is very hip and modern. You'll hear some great innovations, both in the arrangements and in the production. Great care was taken in recording and mixing "Working My Way Up To You" to ensure the optimal spiritual experience while listening to this album, and it sounds top notch. "Jesus Reigns" kicks things off with a great variance in the arrangement and fantastic vocal layering. "Don't Mind the Rain" begins, oddly enough, with a rain track and evolves into a wonderful song with booming backing vocals and a certain southern rock quality. "Soul to Keep" wraps things up nicely with a beautiful piano progression, a little Mellotron, and another memorable vocal performance. With "Working My Way Up To You," Mike Koehl has delivered an album that should establish him as one of the greats in the non-secular music world. Fans of contemporary Christian rock should definitely pick this one up. -William

"The Serenity Prayer" by Francisco Rivera (Spiritual Artist from California (CA))

Francisco Bawdon Rivera is a 46 year veteran of music making and it shows on this well written psalm-style folk single entitled "The Serenity Prayer." The first thing that grabs you is the intimate and timeless quality of Mr. Rivera's voice.

A great guitar progression and classic sound round out the experience, as it is easy to see that the relationship between Francisco's vocals and his guitar have been well polished for quite some time. Another great quality to this track is a subtle story-teller quality that is delivered in such a natural way by Francisco as he sings this prayer. The intimate quality of the recording will make you feel as though you are right in the same room with the artist. If you enjoy spiritually-driven folk with a light and positive quality, pick up this track.

"Lewis Juell" by Lewis Juell (Spiritual Artist from British Columbia, Canada)

RadioIndy is pleased to present Lewis Juell with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Lewis Juell"

"Lewis Juell" is the self-titled acoustic-driven contemporary Christian debut brought to you by a talented singer/songwriter. Hailing from British Columbia, Juell grew up playing acoustic guitar at worship services at his church and expanded from there, always keeping his Christian devotion at the forefront of his music. The songs on Juell's debut were written over an eleven year span, all of them contemporary Christian and worship tracks highlighted by his excellent storytelling skills and infectious guitar solos.

The production quality of this album is also quite good, the vocals and arrangements clean and ready for quiet and loud play. "It's Cold Out Tonight" has nice instrumental layering and great storytelling lyrics about Juell's personal journey and his pursuit of heaven. "On A Road" has a great Americana feel as Juell sings the story of his life, about love, comfort, and finding his way.

"It's Time For Love" by Marvin Webb (Spiritual Artist from San Francisco, California(CA))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Marvin Webb with a GrIndie Award for the CD "It's Time For Love"

"It's Time For Love" is a self-proclaimed rhythm & gospel live album from Minister Marvin Webb. His smooth r&b vocals are reminiscent of Marvin Gaye and Tedy Pendergrass, and together with lyrics of praise and worship, Minister Webb has crafted an inspiring contemporary gospel album. His lyrics criticize the social side of the secular world. He sings about violence and poor conditions within many communities, and politically, about the long battle for peace in the Middle East, lifting the words up and putting them in the hands of the nonsecular world. The recording quality of "It's Time For Love" is also quite good, with few traces that it is a live recording. That said, it still manages to make you feel as though you are in a house of worship. "Simon Peter" takes one of the most memorable of Jesus' prophecies and compares the audience to Simon Peter himself, inferring our imperfections and God's forgiveness. "Get Your Praise On" is a great funk gospel track with a great arrangement filled with funky lead guitar, hand claps, and a nice group vocal. Overall, "It's Time For Love" is an effective album that discusses contemporary issues and the value of praising God within each of them. Fans of contemporary gospel and worship songs prepare. Minister Webb is about to show you what rhythm & gospel is all about.-Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team

"Beckon Me" by Jill Shannon (Spiritual Artist from Pennsylvania(PA))

RadioIndy is pleased to present Jill Shannon with a GrIndie Award for the CD "Beckon Me"

"Beckon Me" is a spiritual adult contemporary album with a folk undertone from singer/songwriter Jill Shannon. Jill's love for God is quite radiant, and these are works of extreme passion and faith. Jill pours her heart and soul into her vocal performances. There is a bit of an Irish feel to the sound, although Jill is of Jewish descent, as her beautiful tongue heavy delivery intertwined with complimentary fiddle make for a very Celtic impression. The overall sound of the album is full and airy, with delicate arrangements and a good mix of instrumentation throughout. "Beckon Me" is very well-recorded, as it brilliantly relates the instruments with the heavenly vocals. Highlights include the opener, "The Door Of Your Heart," which starts things off nicely with a wonderful vocal and beautiful piano progression, along with nice fiddle work. The title track, "Beckon Me," presents a more intimate approach, then booms into a very powerful number. "Im Ta'Amdu" has a bit of a world feel and goes back and forth nicely between the Hebrew and English languages. If you enjoy powerful and talented spiritual female singer/songwriters, Jill Shannon should be right up your alley. -William

"The Prayer" is a contemporary Christian solo piano album featuring heartfelt compositions of praise arranged and performed by Charlie Miller.
