I had the opportunity to review this eclectic music CD by Michael Paul Scally published by Salvation Rock Music Company. This is Scally's second album. The first was released in 2009.
Overall, America has a folk song type of feel to it. Scally has written an album that looks upon the world from a Christian point of view. From trials and tribulations to war, from dreams to giving God your heart, and from a troubled world to our heavenly reward, this album captures many aspects of our lives. With the exception of "Give Him Your Heart," Scally wrote and provided the vocals on this album.
My favorite song is "Reward." It speaks of living life according to God's will and keeping focused on our heavenly reward. "Stars in Orion" has more of a light rock feel to it. There is also the song, "America's in Trouble, which has sparked a bit of controversy. You can view a video for this song here.
Scally sounds a great deal like Bob Dylan. Like Dylan, his music digs deep and forces you to take notice. There are also songs where he sounds similar to Axl Rose from Guns N Roses fame. He's versatile, which is great.
America isn't an album that I would have thought to purchase for myself, so I am thankful his publicist contacted me about reviewing it. I truly enjoyed it and am glad to add it to my collection. The entire CD is available from Salvation Rock Music Company or you can opt for MP3 downloads of individual songs from them or at Amazon. Vinyl albums are available upon request.
I received a free CD from the author's representative in exchange for my honest opinions. I received no monetary compensation of any kind for this review.
