Editorial Reviews

Released in 2007, Glory Revealed paired scripture-based lyrics with a cast of CCM all-stars, from Third Day's Mac Powell to Backstreet Boys vocalist Brian Littrell. The album was supported by a national tour, and the camaraderie established while on the road prompted the musicians to reconvene in 2008 for a second project. Recorded on a farm in rural Georgia, Glory Revealed II finds the cast strumming through another batch of worship songs, all of which quote heavily from scripture and rely on relaxed, acoustic arrangements. This is gospel music for camping trips, an album that shies away from the pop and Christian rock pedigrees of its cast and, instead, focuses on something earthy, rustic, and stripped-down. As before, Mac Powell serves as the unspoken leader of the group, and he figures prominently on three tracks. Glory Revealed II is largely a group effort, though, featuring the songwriting talents of more than ten musicians and emphasizing a communal approach to recording. For those looking to memorize scripture, this is a tuneful place to start. Andrew Leahey, All Music Guide
