• Travis Cottrell Rocks Your Face Off

  ATTENTION BLOG PEEPS:

  Just one more week until the best album in the universe is released! (ooo--iTunes link here)

  

  Yes, it's true that me and a few of my friends are singing in the choir on here...in the background...way...in the background. AND it's true that I orchestrated half of the songs on here--but that's not why I think it's great. If I had never been involved with it at all, it would still be my NEW FAVORITE ALBUM.

  Travis has a unique and wonderful way of making art with music.  His artistic choices are genuinely passionate and heartfelt.  I could tell when I heard his early albums "Unashamed Love" and "Alive Forever" way back in the early 2000's (HAHAHA the early 2000's...I know that just sounds ridiculous!) and honestly, the album "Alive Forever" completely changed the face of worship in our church.  God used that music to spark something in the hearts of our worshippers, and I've reaped the benefits with my choir and worship teams in the years since.  If you've heard any of his music, you probably know exactly what I mean.  If you haven't, you are missing out.

  In these days when the pressure is ON from all sides to have a product that is marketable, an instant hit, and produced with less time and money than is reasonable--it is refreshing to hear an album that is full of artistry, passion, and heartfelt worship. 

  I can't wait.

  (P.S. - the Live DVD comes out in October...)
