Description
The Matthew Ward Collection is a compilation album by the American singer and songwriter Matthew Ward of 2nd Chapter of Acts fame, released on Benson Records in 1992. The album features one previously unreleased track, “My Little Ones”, as well as selected tracks from the first four solo albums by Ward released between 1979 and 1990. Compiled by Andy Ivey.
Trying to describe Matthew’s singing style is nearly as difficult as finding a hair on the top of his head. So don’t try. Instead give a listen to an intriguing collection of sole tracks the veteran recorded away from his family group 2nd Chapter of Acts. There’s at least one Cross Rhythms reviewer who considers Matthew one of the GREAT voices of popular music, so I need to tread carefully. I find «My Little Ones» to be in Paul McCartney style while Keith Green‘s brilliantly worded «Summer Snow» is a pleasure. But throughout the album, although it’s all pleasant listening rather than heavy laden. Technically very good but for this reviewer some of the tracks merged into one another without me realisating. A worrying trait for his fans only I feel. [Tony Cummings, Cross Rhythms, October 1992]
