Bebo Norman's new album is rooted in the tuneful sensibilities of artists like James Taylor and John Mayer. Further it proves that Bebo is confidently stretching the musical arrangements to his often worshipful melodies.

Another amazing album

"My wife told me of a Bebo song that she liked and I went and bought the album. I loved his style so much that I bought every album in one go and I am amazed to say every one of those albums are now treasures in my collection of Christian music. Not one album is average. I love Bebo's music but also his words are deep, formed by one who doesn't just quote the scripture in song but conveys the experience of the traveler, the one who through experience has found the right path and now sings a word of encouragement to those who may also want to walk the same way. His music is great for those who want to be gently moved towards Christ and who appreciate fantastic music. I highly recommend any album to your readers."
Brilliant Album, Top 10 of 2008!

"I've been a huge fan of Bebo Norman for the past decade as he has consistently released songs that have touched me such as The Hammer Holds, Tip Of My Heart, Nothing Without You and I Will Lift My Eyes. He is a truth telling folk music style singer-songwriter like Rich Mullins, Derek Webb and Todd Agnew, all favorites of mine. Having recently changed labels to BEC Records, this is his first recording as a new father of his 1 year old son Smith and and it has quickly become my favorite album by Bebo Norman and it is one of my top albums of 2008!
Bebo Norman is richly loaded with personal themes of coming out of depression, prayerful reflection and hope-filled expressions of joy in Christ. This album stands out like Deep Enough To Dream by Chris Rice in that you can't help but root for this album and artist because you can immediately identify with the personal nature of the songs. The first track is a great example. Pull Me Out is a song about Bebo's battle with depression and calling out for God's grace. Hear It From Me is another standout song in that we can all relate to Bebo's prayer. Every song is truly brilliant and personal and the song I can't stop listening to is the first single Britney, written as an apology to Britney Spears for how our culture tells lies about what's beautiful and what will give life. Bebo says: "it is also an invitation to the truth about a God who is bigger than the pain this world leaves us in." It is one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard and as a father of 3 daughters, it wrecks me everytime.
Pick up Bebo Norman and you won't regret it. For me this is a 5 star album."

"I did have to find out where the repeat tracks button was though. Great album. I highly recommend purchasing the entire album. My personal favorites are 'Pull Me Out,' 'Britney,' 'Ruins, 'Never Saw You Coming,' and 'The Only Hope.'"
Typical Bebo -- amazing!
