Back in the mid-90's Kim began writing impromptu reviews of church music CDs (worship music) so that people who were looking for CDs would have an opinion from someone who is also a worship leader and is garnering music for local church use. Up to this point, this was rarely something that was done, because church music was revered as sacred and it was thought that any offering of that sacred worship shouldn't be criticised or evaluated. In fact, Kim wasn't as much a critic as he was an evaluator, helping people find what fit their church. He began posting his reviews on line in a email discussion forum, called the Worship List (website). After a while, when he helped launch Worshipmusic.com, he continued that same concept of trying to help other local church worship leaders and musicians find music that might be applicable to their situations. The reviews continued to be a part of that. Worshipmusic.com went on to grow a staff of writers that would add many more reviews to the collection they have, but Kim continued to participate as a key reviewer. This journal logs all the reviews Kim has written on worship music CDs and projects.
Kim's reviews of CD projects of worship music includes independents, label and main stream recordings, but all having to do with worship music.

For those who have enjoyed the sounds of celtic music as they praise and worship God, there is no sound like the music of Eden's Bridge, and the signature vocals of Sarah Lacy. You will be captivated by the sounds of this excellent collection of the best work from Eden's Bridge. But more than just a pleasing sound, I found that the depths of devotion and contrition that are apparant in the lyrics of these songs had me rending my heart before God, then dancing in joy. For those who are new to celtic praise and worship, this is an excellent place to start. Normally, I don't laud much on collections, since they often things we have all heard. But in thise case, the uniqueness and rarity of excellent devotional music in the celtic style has me recommending this project very highly. Check out this project above and listen to the song samples, then add this album to your spin cycle on your car or home CD player. You won't regret it.

After having customers at WorshipMusic.com hound us for months- we finally were able to begin to stock a selection of Celtic praise & worship from the awesome group Eden's Bridge. Frankly, I had never heard the stuff before, but once I plugged in my first Celtic CD, I was completely blown away. The CD in question? You guessed it- Celtic Praise!
It was awesome! The Lord was incredibly present as I worshiped along to the CD. If you haven't heard Celtic praise & worship before, you will be haunted for weeks with the tones and sounds of the ethnic Irish sounds giving glory to Jesus. If you thought you liked "Amazing Grace" before, you will be blown away by this rendition. Simply heavenly.
You can find all the Celtic projects on our site, but my standout favorite is Celtic Praise.
