Review:
Quiet Power... Chris Taylor is one of those people whose story seems to follow a path that actually makes sense. You know, his mom gave him a guitar, he spent hours in his room before playing for kids at school and being well-received, moved on to leading worship at youth group, the main church service, and finally he heads to the UK to participate in one of Soul Survivor’s six month music/worship courses. The best laid plans of mice and men, and in this case, God. Taylor just kept putting one foot in front of the other and ended up becoming a fresh, talented worshipper with something significant to say.
There’s a strong Paul Simon component to his work, in terms of both vocals and story-telling capacity. Produced by and backed by the equally talented Stu Green on bass, keyboards and guitars, “Lights on the Unseen” captures a sense of clarity and focus that is moving and exciting.
Maybe it’s the sense of progression that runs through Taylor’s own story but his CD carries the same feeling of forward movement. His strong vocals shine over the gentle acoustic instrumentation. Guitars and keyboards sparkle like grace notes under the intelligent lyrics, which are delivered with passion restrained by what seems to be an innate sensitivity.
Take special note of “Gethsemane,” illustrating exactly this unique combination of tranquility and power. All the more impressive when you consider his relative youth. It leaves me with the feeling that we’ll be hearing much more of Chris Taylor as he continues to put one foot in front of the other on this God-ward path.
