Writing On The Wall Review

Jill Phillip's third album showcases a talent that should be more widely known throughout the CCM scene. She and her husband, Andy Gullahorn are writing some of the best lyrics in contemporary music today. Her style is accessible, but never trite; the music and lyrics are both challenging and pleasing to the ear.

As in her first album (self-titled) she never hesitates to be honest with the listener. With the song title "Buried Alive" challenging listeners on her first album, "Wrecking Ball" will do the same on this CD. But effortlessly, Phillips turns to the quiter side of spirituality with "Even Still", and "Still is My Soul".

This is an artist who connects with her listeners by singing what it means to be an "everyday Christian"; not knowing all of the answers, wanting more from her relationship with God, and bringing us along for the ride.
