BRANDON HEATH’S BLUE
MOUNTAIN (2012)
BY K Y L I E C R E M E R
“A great song can carry us to another
place and a well-crafted album can introduce
us to a whole new world.” This can surely be
said of Brandon Heath’s most recent album,
Blue Mountain (2012). Blue Mountain’s songs
demonstrate his superbly intelligent song writing
and his ability to tell stories using fictional
characters that perfectly portray the human
condition; not only can we relate to his commonly
found topics of forgiveness, love, death, and
admiration, but we see shades of ourselves in his
characters that leave us with the satisfaction of
knowing that we are not alone in these feelings.
