CD Review: Tara Jackson’s debut solo project


TARA JACKSON
Self-Titled Debut Solo Project

To be honest, I was a little reluctant to even pop this CD in my computer simply because of my affinity for the “male quartet” sound that I love about Southern Gospel music.? This blog? post? by Allison Lynn had already picked my interest in Tara Jackson, but my skepticism remained because with only a few exceptions,? I’m just not into soloists.? ?

Well, add Tara Jackson to my short list of soloists that I enjoy listening to!!!? She is now 1 of only 2 female soloists on my list that I actually would choose to listen to (TaRanda Green is the other one, btw).?

My initial reaction to Tara’s vocals was to compare her to Kelly (Crabb) Bowling or one of the McRae sisters.? After listening to her debut project several times now,? Tara has a quality to her voice that is very easy and pleasing to listen to.? I’m already looking forward to listening to this CD again tomorrow!

Song List:

  1. God’s Got A Word For You
  2. Wonder Working Power
  3. Except For Grace
  4. Lift Up Your Eyes
  5. Ask Of Me
  6. He Knows My Name
  7. Testify
  8. In Christ Alone (My Hope Is Found)
  9. Pray For America
  10. Redeemer?

My favorite song from the album is “In Christ Alone”, but “Wonder Working Power” is right behind it.? Tara’s powerful, but soothing? voice was something I did not expect,? so I am more than pleasantly surprised with this project.?
