All the People Said Amen

Description

All the People Said Amen is a (mostly) live album by the Canadian singer and songwriter Matt Maher, released on Essential Records in 2013, a label under Provident Label Group, a division of Sony Music Entertainment, distributed in the US by Provident Distribution and by Sony Music Entertainment. The live tracks (2, 5-11, and 13) were recorded during the fall of 2012 in Detroit in Michigan, St. Louis in Missouri, and South Bend and Indianapolis in Indiana; with Matt Maher producing. Tracks 2, 5-11, and 13 mixed by Michael Davis at Digital Audio Post in Nashville. Audio editing by Drew Douthit and Jonathan Jost. Tracks 1, 3, 4, and 12 produced and engineered by Paul Moak at his studio The Smoakstack in Nashville, Tennessee. Tracks 1, 3, and 12 mixed by Sean Moffitt with track 4 mixed by Moffitt and Chris Stevens.

Mix part Derek Webb, a lot of Scott Farris, a bit of John Davis (from Superdrag) with Rich Mullins, and you’ve got a fine blend of rootsy, bluesy, and heartfelt Gospel. It’s fun, basic, and live worship that can sit alongside the Chris Tomlins and the Matt Redmans of the praise and worship music world, but you’ll have to slide a couple steps sideways (like well-worn boots across a wooden floor) to find this record.

Earthy, rustic, and full of character, it succeeds at an authentic, organic vibe that formulas can’t touch. Maher’s written a couple of today’s “worship hits” – the simple Chris Tomlin hit «Your Grace is Enough» and the powerful anthem «Christ Is Risen» – both of which are on here with several live cuts and between-song direction. Like John Mark McMillan or the new album by Citizens, All the People Said Amen has the best of both worlds for discriminating believers that love worship but hate cheese.
