Artist: Mercy's Vessel
Albums: "He Paid the Price" and "I'm Out of Here" (2012)
Genre: Southern Gospel; Bluegrass
Website: http://mercysvessel.org/
Background Info: The group is from here in PA, has been together since 2007, and since then has recorded 5 albums, three of which are honorably archived. In their music, they try to boast not themselves, but the Christ-filled "Message in the Music" that they sing of.
Recently, some of my family (but not me) was able to attend one of Mercy's Vessel's events, and they came home saying how they loved the evening and that I would have enjoyed the it as well. I knew that I had to request copies of "He Paid the Price" and "I'm Out of Here" to review and thus for myself and my viewers- local and distant- to enjoy.
The first thing that you notice is that they seem to be a quartet running one man short, but with a Lead, Tenor, and Baritone singer singing to the instrumental accompaniment accordingly there is an abundance of both sound and harmony in each track.
I asked my sister, who was at the concert and spent a few moments listening to songs on the albums, both, for a few words to describe the group and in her words she declares the music to be uplifting, the lyrics easy-to-understand, that the men mean what they sing, that their message itself is great, etc.
It is interesting to note that they don't rely on the instrumental backgrounds or allow them to drown out the lyrics; the instruments however do add to make the music very lively and upbeat. That said, I can see myself listening to these albums when I am upset for encouragement even as I can whole heatedly recommend the CD album for everyday use. :)
As for individual songs themselves, they are all new to me. My favorites, if you have heard them include:
