RAY VESTER ~ BACK AGAIN
3R1 MUSIC GROUP ~ PRODUCED BY: RAY VESTER
Singer and songwriter Ray Vester sent us a project for review a while back and it's chocked full of ten terrific songs and Ray had a hand in writing all of them!
TAKE THAT FINAL FLIGHT is a great song!  It's upbeat and it talks of that day that we TAKE THAT FINAL FLIGHT to see Jesus!  BACK AGAIN is a great song of rededication.  DAD'S AT HOME WITH JESUS is a tribute to Ray's father who, according to the liner notes, passed away in 1999. 

 

THE WELL OF LIVING WATER picks up the pace once again and it's an enjoyable, upbeat song!  THE GREAT I AM slows it down again and is a great song of worship.  The next two songs were co-written by Ray and his mom.  The liner notes also revealed Ray's mom passed away in 2003.  REJOICE IN HIS LOVE is a great song that I had a nice time listening too.  JESUS IS MY EVERYTHING is a song that you can tell is a good one just by the title!  It does not disappoint, the song is terrific.

 

GONNA BE JOY is a song that Ray does a great job on but the song sounds like a quartet song!  I would love to hear one of today's Southern Gospel Quartet's record this song!  THE GREATEST GIFT is the next song and it sends us right into the final song on the project.  WHEN JESUS RIDES ON THE CLOUDS is a flat out barn burner!  It's a great ending to this project and of course helps all Christians look forward to that great day when Jesus comes back to get His Saints.

 

Ray is, without question, a very talented guy.  He is a good singer and a terrific songwriter.  All ten songs on this project are lyrically strong and well produced.  My favorite songs from the project are TAKE THAT FINAL FLIGHT, REJOICE IN HIS LOVE and THE GREAT I AM.  I must admit that I am not real familiar with the music of Ray Vester but I am impressed with this project and have no problems recommending it to our readers!  For more information on Ray, visit www.rayvester.com.
