CD Reviews

A love story

Jessica McGowan | Nevada, Mo USA | 10/27/2000

(4 out of 5 stars)

"All of the songs by 100 Portraits on the cd Five Wise Virgins speak of the love that Jesus has for us, through lyrics taken in part from Song of Solomon. It truly is a love story from Jesus to His bride, which is the church."

Severly Underated

C. Murphy | Winfield, KS | 05/02/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Anyone who's heard 100 portraits would agree that this is the most underated musical act out there. Though quickly passed off as just another folk band by some, 100 portraits brings a sound that is not only beautiful, but completely unique.
I was amazed at how such sound could come from two vocals, a guitar, and a handfull of african drums. The lyrics couldn't be more poetic. "Around My Neck," has kept my friends and me in deep conversations about the lyrics for hours before.
If anyone deserves success, it's these two. They charge little or no money to book them for a concert, usually just transportation and a place to stay. It's strange how music sounds so much better when you know the hearts of the musicians are in the right place. I pray God blesses them unmeasurably"

Incredible

im_redeemed | Houston! | 04/26/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is filled with many tracks that will really speak to one's heart. Told mostly from a lover's perspective, it goes through all of love's many emotions. These songs were also written as love ballads directly from our Savior to us. It is an incredible way to view God's love for us, as his bride."
