Just Come In Review

Responding to fan requests, Margaret Becker released this CD of acoustic recording. With about half songs she's already recorded and half new stuff, this CD feels like the most personal release she has made to date.

The old songs are some of my favorites. While she focuses on releases since her official best of with selections like "Feel It All," "Say the Name," and "Clay and Water," she does include two classics that fit in well. These are "All I Ever Wanted" and "Just Come In." This last one especially has never sounded better; it now has such a personal touch to it that really sends the message home.

The new songs feel like a modern praise and worship service. There is not one poor selection here, and I think some of them surpass the familiar songs on the CD. I especially like "Hear All Creation," "My Refuge Be," and "No Height, No Depth."

With the stripped down production, it feels like we are eavesdropping on Margaret Becker's prayer life. It sounds so different from her old school rock, but I personally like it better then some of her old stuff. It is guaranteed to uplift your spirit. This is a release to treasure.
