Synopsis

Album Description

Sojourn is back with their first studio CD in over 5 years. This new release includes 9 studio tracks and 6 live tracks. This time around, the band is a 4-piece and this CD marks the first full recording featuring drummer Dennis Jeltema. "Once Again" is generating quite a bit of excitement, and is said to be the most enjoyable effort yet. The CD includes many strong tracks, for example "This Is The Way", "So Good", and "Big Mouth". Sojourn has moved in a more "rock" direction, when compared to their original "folk" early days. However, the early influences are not lost, especially when listening to their arrangement of the classic "Bridge Over Troubled Water". The band continues to evolve, but this CD shows Sojourn operating in their most cohesive effort to date. The CD is highly recommended for those looking for some original acoustic pop music, with a bit of unique creativity thrown in.

CD Reviews

Pleasantly Suprised

04/05/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"For an absolutely unknown band to put out a pop/rock album that is this enjoyable is indeed a suprise. What makes it enjoyable for me is that it's good rock music that I enjoy. The lyrics keep me comming back. It goes beyond the tired old girls, parties, and fun times, to a deaper heart level. It gets deap without ever getting preachy.It sounds like an indie album in that it lacks that perfectly polished, sound. 15 tracks, both studio and live, it is well worth the ten dollar price tag."

Very very very nice

"Being a West Michigan native, I've know about Sojourn for as long as they've been around. Always meaningful and easy to take in, their music has never ceased to hit me in a very special way. Their message is very personal. One can feel Adam's heart emptying itself completely in conjuction with their own... and it's nothing you can help. Their music has changed quite a bit over the last decade, but even so their message has always hit just the same. Whether convicting, uplifting, about praise, hope, or any other emotion... you can feel the blood being squeezed from their hearts. Even though Sojourn's music has always seemed to rival my own personal taste, they've always been one group that I can count on to write good, solid, heart-felt music... and this Album is no different. I love this band, I love their hearts, and I love their desire to spread their love throughout whom ever they meet. "Once Again" is mirrors the hearts of 4 of the finest men that I have ever known. It's defiantly worth your money, and you owe it to your soul to pick it up as soon as possible."
