World’s Riot (The End)” counters
it with a more pensive mood enhanced by strings. The technique
of dramatic build-ups leading
into rousing refrains is an effective sonic device on this engaging
record. Jonathan is an expressive
vocalist with brother Richard Lee
Jackson (drums) and Daniel Sweatt (bass) crafting a bold backdrop
for tracks that run the range from
optimistic “Everything Is Possible”
to the sorrowful “The Hands of
Your Drug.” A personal favorite is
“Things You’ve Never Seen” which
flows with an Edgy-U2 vibe. This
polished performance has an air
of mystery as Jackson acts out
his musical impulses while telling
tales of faith, hope and love that
should go a long way in helping
Jonathan make a name for himself
in the world of music.
