Shane Barnard and Shane Everett have been
blessing the church with great music since
2002. Eighteen years and thirty albums later,
their latest release Vintage is a collection of
songs that will take listeners on a stroll down
memory lane back to the songs that began
the worship movement. The ten song album
features some of the most iconic worship
offerings from the past 3 decades wrapped in a
warm acoustic coffee-house vibe.
A few of the standout tracks include the
classic Rich Mullins tune, “Awesome God” with
some outstanding acoustic guitar work and
tight harmonies that would make Mr. Mullins
proud. “As the Deer” which is sung with heartfelt
vulnerability and as with many tracks on
the album, the simple musical arrangement
“In the Secret” was always one of my favorite
songs as a young church worker and I probably
played it way more than I should have. Here,
Shane and Shane do an incredible job of
bringing back to life this beloved Andy Park
tune with a more driving feel before injecting a
surprise chorus of another classic, “You Are My
All In All” which works amazingly.
“I Could Sing of Your Love Forever” receives
new musical life with rhythmic congas and
fingerpicking while personally reminding me of
the years I spent as a camp-counselor leading
students in worship around a campfire so long
ago.
“Breathe” wraps up the album with acoustic
guitars and gorgeous floating harmonies as
Shane and Shane worship with passion and
vulnerability. The newly penned tag is lyrically
on point as they fervently declare, “Oh Lord I
wanna yearn for you, I wanna burn with passion
over you and only you.”
The songs of Vintage still have merit and a
place in the hearts of many believers around the
world. This album exceeded my expectations
and was by no means cheesy. Shane and
Shane are vocal and arrangement masters
and their heart for worship is in full effect here.
These melodies are timeless and serve as great
reminder that just because a song was written
30 years ago, doesn’t mean it is no longer
relevant to the church today. These are songs
that shaped who many of us are and they
should be honored, remembered and sung just
as loud as they were as when they were written.

Nashville Life Music is the soundtrack of
Nashville Life Church, a local worshiping
community that started out of CeCe Winans'
living room nine years ago. Their latest release,
Here For Jesus is unlike anything currently
playing on Christian radio. Instead of endless
cookie cutter songs that are lead-singer
focused with a few smatterings of harmonies
and maybe a smidge of crowd ambience
thrown in, Here For Jesus puts the emphasis
on choral leadership which gives the album a
very congregational feel.
Musically this album harks back to the height
of the 1970’s disco/funk era with most tracks
featuring funky bass lines, clean and jazzy
