a Matchlight in the Dark on iTunes

Mar182008 Filed under: Uncategorized Author: Tony Morgan

It’s new music Tuesday and Lee’s new album, a Matchlight in the Dark, is now available on iTunes. You can still order it from CD Baby if you’d like the actual CD.

By the way, if you want a very accurate review of Lee’s album that will make you split a gut laughing, check out this post from Chris Elrod. One of my favorite lines: "For those that have been suckling on Hughes and Tomlin for too
long…that sound you hear on the song…it’s called distorted guitar."

Chris shares similar thoughts to my initial reaction to Lee’s album. It’s very different than any other worship music I’ve heard in recent years.

Frankly, I’m relieved. I was worried I have to pimp music I didn’t like. I’ve been complaining about worship music for several years. Fortunately, Lee loves to worship loud, and that’s reflected in this album.

Tell all your friends about it. It will make their earbuds happy.

I have a cardio workout playlist on my Ipod and until today, I don’t think there was more than 2 CCM songs on it. Lee’s music is incredible, and most, if not all, of the cuts were immediately added to that playlist. At the risk of really dating myself, Rich Mullins has always been my favorite Christian artist. It wasn’t as much for his tune, but much more so for his lyrics. After a run-through of the entire album, I think Lee’s lyrics are in that ballpark. “Love Is” was so moving I actually stopped for a few minutes to really concentrate on the words. We need more, much more of this.

Please pass my compliments on to Lee, and I’ll look for more music to try from you in the future!
