"Broken Bones Rejoice"

Worship Leader Magazine, Sept 05 " ...Rock 'n' Roll in past decades had a down-home reality that has been white-washed by many mainstream pretty-boy posers. In the old days a group like the Stones or The Clash could say all they needed to say in ten words or less, backed by chugging guitar riffs and punchy sentiments that added grit to their growling vocals. That's how Steve Counsel rolls,too..."

Cross Rhythms, Mike Rimmer Sept 05 "..Borrowing from his bluesy roots (Counsel blows a mean harp - check out "Roll Away The Stone"), vocally he sounds like a young Van Morrison spitting out the words here with a raspy soulful passion....... The greasy guitar groove of "I Wanna Know You" and "Let Your Love Rain Down" immediately put the album on the map."

Andy Piercy, producer (Delirious, Matt Redman, Rita Springer) London Oct 2005 "...If you think the phrase "dirty guitar" means getting a finger print mark on your nice clean Taylor acoustic during the Contemporary Worship service then beware; this is worship music played from the hip on a Les Paul with the guitar strap worn at its longest setting!"

Cross Rhythms, Mike Rimmer Sept 05 "...a studio worship album packed with vibe and free from musical cliché ... with a raspy soulful passion."
