Come to the River

Description

Come to the River is the debut album by the American rock combo Rhett Walker Band, released on Provident Label Group’s Essential Records in July 2012, a division of Sony Music Entertainment. Distributed in the US by Provident Distribution and Sony Music Entertainment. The album was recorded at The Smoakstack in Nashville, Tennessee; with Paul Moak producing. All songs co-written by Rhett Walker, including “Singing Stone” co-written with Steven Delopoulos of Burlap to Cashmere fame.

Rarely a day passes that I don’t hear The Rhett Walker Band’s debut single «When Mercy Found Me» on the UK’s Christian radio stations – and quite rightly so. This debut release from the Tennessee-based rockers will, of course, be compared to a Third Day record, partially because of the similarities of Rhett Walker’s voice to that of Mac Powell and the band’s undeniable Southern rock approach. There is no doubting, however, this record stands alone brilliantly without the said comparisons. It is full of powerful rock anthems, none better than «Get Up, Get Out» – which showcases Rhett’s powerful and emotive voice. The album finishes with «Singing Stone» – a gentle ballad that drifts along beautifully with the guitar strumming in the background like a slow train moving through a Nashville station. This, alongside «Brother», proves this band are capable of more than just the rock anthems that flow so naturally. ‘Come To The River’ is a really upbeat, positive album that speaks of God’s power and hope in our lives. Rhett Walker’s voice shines throughout, and fits more than perfectly against a backdrop of raw guitar tone and immense instrumentation. An impressive, well produced debut, of quality songs.
