This is a tremendous new indie CD that we are very excited about. This CD is a studio recording of a worship leader from the Valparaiso, Indiana Vineyard church. Frankly, this CD has the absolute best sound and production of any indie CD I have ever listened to. The musical presentation is arranged and mixed on par with ANY "big" company CD I have listened to, and eclipses most of those.

But the best part of the CD is the content of the songs. Musically enjoyable, and very accessable for churches, the list of songs is almost entirely authored by the worship leader, Sheri Keller. She has a gift for writing, and this project makes that point. The opening cut is just awesome (called "new song"). Only one song is not authored by Sheri, and that is the wonderful Doug Horley song "We Want To See Jesus Lifted High".

I have also heard 3 editions of that song on various projects. This CD is far-and-away the best, most inspirational rendition of that.

The clincher for this CD is the lead vocals, on which Sheri Keller unleashes some serious worship. My first question when I listened to this CD was "why isn't this person signing on with a CCM label?" Her voice and execution on the songs is easy that good. I guess that is what impressed me alot about the project- while the artistry level is way beyond what is usually heard in churches, the intensity of worship is at an equally high level.
