Description
Beyond Complacency is the debut album by the American acoustic pop duo Jackson Finch (Kevin Jackson and Brian Finch), independently released in 1993. The album was produced and arranged by Steve Dady and the band.
This indie release from Kevin Jackson and Brian Finch, produced by Steve Dady, was like a proto-Jars of Clay, coming two years before Jars’ self-titled album. These guys weren’t in Jars, but they have the same “acoustic guitars with cool drum programming” sound, plus excellent harmonies. Christian themes predominate the lyrics, including one song which summarizes Tolkien’s book ‘The Hobbit’ by comparing it to a Pilgrim’s Progress-type spiritual journey. «Language of Grace» is a gorgeous ballad, and the Christmas/Easter song «Southern Sky» takes the listener through some delightfully unexpected key changes. Jackson Finch went on to a single major Christian label album release after this, but it failed to recapture the magic of this debut effort. [R. Berman, 2004]
