Paul Colman [History]
Kevin R. Davis | Perkasie, PA | 01/30/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Paul Colman's name may not be too familiar however whether you are a long-time fan like me or this album is the first time you've listened to him, you are in for a memorable, familiar and catchy treat. You may have heard Paul's work with the Newsboys on their last album "Go" where Paul played guitar and most notably co-wrote the hit song "Something Beautiful".



From the opening notes of "If I Was Jesus", the debut single and cover of a song originally recorded by Toby Keith, I was immediately hooked by the style and message. The song depicts the nature of Jesus and the chorus stirs you with "I'd lay my life before you, and I'd show you who's the boss, I'd forgive you and adore you while I was hanging on your cross".



History continues with a great cover of the song "History Maker" by Delirious?. Then, the remaining songs are all previously recorded by Paul when he was in the band Paul Colman Trio and his solo release Let It Go from 2002-2005. "Turn" is a timeless anthem of faith regarding how we need to "turn this life around" including the line "who can change your heart, change your motivation?". "Run" and "Fill My Cup" are also great songs originally from "New Map of the World". "Holding Onto You", "Gloria (All God's Children)" and "The One Thing" are three of the best songs ever by Paul from his solo album in 2005. Those songs are all prayerful, uplifting and very catchy. "Solution", "Sweet Sweet Song of Salvation" and "All U Need" also showcase Paul's songwriting and singing talent in the style of his contemporaries Matthew West, Bebo Norman and Brandon Heath.



The album ends with "The Killing Tree" and "I Owe It All" which is one of my favorite songs on the album. It is a personal prayer to Jesus and vertical worship song with the sincere chorus "I owe it all to You Jesus, I owe it all to You, all my life I lay before You, I owe it all to You".



For anyone unfamiliar with these songs, this is a can't miss adult contemporary and worship album. The fact that it includes so many previous releases just gives an opportunity for new fans to experience Paul's great singing and songwriting. If you like what you hear on this album, I also recommend "Let Love Grow" and "Pray" from

Paul's previous albums.
