Mysteries & Dreams - Reviewed by Gareth Paul Taylor / Cross Rhythms London :
Here is a fine new release from veteran Glenn Garrett, who has achieved a lot in his decades on the Christian music scene. As his bio states, this is a CD of intercession warfare and worship, and powerful stuff it is even judging by the lyrics alone. Alongside producing, Garrett sings and plays grand piano and keys, occasionally adding a touch of acoustic guitar to the mix as well as surrounding himself with a fine band. The vocal and instrumental style, like the thematic consistency, is very much neo-'80s prog rock, with Garrett's layered synths filling out the sound, but it is by no means anodyne. The touch of real piano is effective, as is the plentiful guitar work. Most striking though is the undergirding theme of fiery intercession, moving from the fiery trials of the opener through the later "War Zone" to the prayer for God to "Breathe Fire On Me". There is much reference to the trials of life, and the sung prayer "Can You Hear Me?" is followed by God's response in the poignantly understated song "Do You Remember When?" Garrett delivers the songs with clear passion and carefully articulated words emphasizing their sincerity, without overdoing the emotional intensity. An album well worth searching out.
Glenn Garrett is an artist, writer & author who has traveled and performed all over the world. Glenn is also a gold record producer. He received his education from Auburn University where he majored in the Arts and Speech Communications. He has recorded eight major record projects and has had over 100 songs published and recorded by other artist and himself, including the National Chart toppers, I’m Born Again You Are Jehovah and Waiting On You. Glenn’s songs have consistently charted in the top ten, both in the US and abroad.
Glenn continues to be a prolific songwriter / artist working with such talent as Point of Grace, Lisa Bevill and Chris Rodriguez. The tunes Magdalene, Your Love and I’ll Stay There, three songs co-written by Garrett and Rodriguez for his CD Beggars Paradise on Word Records, received rave reviews from Billboard Magazine and the press. Glenn produced, and wrote All I Need for the award winning group, Point of Grace. He has received two Gold Records for his work on the Free To Fly CD. Glenn also just produced four songs for newcomer Shelley Spady, release date sometime early 2008. All Heaven Moves and You Are Not Alone written by Glenn are sure to be radio favorites from her CD.
Glenn was commissioned to write the National theme song for the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. Glenn and Kathy Garrett wrote the poetic lyric, while Garrett and Wayne Kirkpatrick wrote the powerful music. The results was, Heroes In Black Stone. Senator John Kerry of Mass. announced Heroes In Black Stone to be the official theme song for the Vietnam Memorial at a press conference held in the nations capital in September of that year. The Song was performed on Veterans Day by Garrett on the Wall at the National ceremony in Washington D.C. before dignitaries and thousands of Veterans. ASCAP rewarded Glenn with a special award for his work.
Glenn’s latest CD Mysteries & Dreams (released June 2006) is by far his most anointed work in years. It is a CD of intercession warfare and worship. "Mysteries & Dreams" continues to touch hearts around the globe. Gareth Paul Taylor writer for Cross Rhythms London Has poster a wonderful review of this project.
