Carman, like entertainers from Sammy Davis Jr. to Liberace, knows what it takes to get a song across. Vegas theatrics aside, he's extraordinarily adept at spreading his Christian message through a diversity of musical styles. On House of Praise, Carman's first release of all-new material in five years, he writes and performs a variety of lively pop numbers designed to inspire and uplift. Opening with the infectious Caribbean-styled jam "Good to Me," segueing into a funky urban groove with "House of Praise," then slowing into the prayerful ballad "Just as I Am," Carman shows he's able to create music that touches the emotions. House of Praise is a decidedly joyful affair, and a supporting cheering section/background choir adds to the house party atmosphere. Is Carman cool? Maybe not, but following pop music trends isn't what he's about, anyway. What Carman does do is spread the gospel with foot-stomping, arm-waving, hand-clapping aplomb, and that's something to be praised indeed.
His fans will surely agree it was worth the wait. House of Praise is a unique recording because it merges the energy and excitement of a live Carman concert—including chorus singalong—with world class studio musicianship. As a result, House of Praise has the precision and production values of a conventional studio recording, with the infectious fun of a live concert. |
