All Sons & Daughters ‘Self-Titled’

Written by: Amanda Brogan (5/5/2014)

You hear the term “worship band” and what comes to mind? A mega church overflowing with lifted hands? A projection screen above an instrument-packed stage displaying lyrics against a colorful backdrop? That’s one face of the worship music prism. But turn it just a bit and you’ll see a new shade of the spectrum … the raw, acoustic side. Here you’ll find unaltered vocals and unplugged guitars. Here you’ll feel more like you’re worshipping around a campfire than in a church building. Here is where you’ll find the simple harmony of All Sons and Daughters.

Mixing their own blend of folk music meets worship scene, David Leonard and Leslie Jordan of All Sons and Daughters draw heavily from Scripture to produce a serene album of praise and prayer.

“You Will Remain” speaks of God’s eternal, unchanging nature. “Tonight,” “God With Us,” and “Christ Be All Around Me” are earnest prayers for His protection and guidance.

“Great Are You Lord” and “We Give Thanks to You” offer praise to God for His provision and sustaining love.

Similar to the acoustic folk sound of Ellie Holcomb, All Sons and Daughters’ new self-titled album offers something slightly different for worship music fans. Perfect for sitting back on a slow day, closing your eyes, and letting the praise flow forth.

3.8/5
