It amazes me the number of CD’s I get from foreign
countries, wanting to know my opinion of their ‘American style’ country
music.  This particular CD was sent to me from Newfoundlander Michael T
Wall.  The singer, Rose Alexander, is from Australia.  Go figure.  No
less than six of the songs on this CD are written by Ms. Alexander.  And
they are all terrific witness’s and revelations of her relationship
with the Lord Jesus Christ.  This alone makes it a special adventure. 
We learn of new ways to be with our Lord, and she does exactly that. 
Victor Sophios contributed five original songs to the project.  He also
played the bass and lead guitar on the session.  Quite a nice session as
well. Dooley Zantis on keyboard; Liz West on mandolin; Attilla Sautov
on violin (especially nice on “No One Will Ever Take Your Love From Me);
Roger Connolly on harmonica; all of them contributing harmony at one
point or another.  It should be noted that Rose also played keyboard and
acoustic rhythm guitar.  Actually it’s a quite nice country music
production, one that I shall forward to the Rural Roots Music
Commission.  All around easy to listen to session. We need more singers
and songwriters like Rose Alexander on planet earth these days, indeed
we do.
