Musical Influences The Beatles to Bill Gaithier

Artist History Broken Rose started as several musicians who played sessions together at a local recording studio. It "worked" right from the start. One day after a recording session guitarist Jimmie Reemes brought out a song he had written and after a few dry runs it was ready to record. Jimmie had several songs he wanted to "demo" , so he continued to get the band together. One day it was decided "why don't we go ahead & produce a CD , become a band & see what happens! The result is what you hear on MP3.co

Press Reviews ......... could this be the Beatles of Christian music ? Not expecting too much I plugged in "From the cradle to the Cross" by Rick Wilson & Broken Rose. It had been a long day and I was tired. Suddenly I sat up in my chair, what was this ? This music is so fresh it caught my attention instantly ! First the songs are great. Unlike anything out right now. From the almost traditional "I've got a friend" to the very melodic & soulfull "The Morning Star" this is quality stuff. I was impressed with the use of instruments & the arrangements. The parts fit together like a glove, no filling of holes here, they are playing parts that are woven to fit the songs. After listening to the" assembly line" method of todays "Christian music" this seems almost radical !! I Love It !!! Four Stars out of Five the mix could have been better, but It's still great !!! reprinted from " The Halleljuah Chorus " --------------------------------------------------------------------------- " Great songs ! Great arrangements !! , I loved every song ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ............ with so many CD's out there today it's rare that one grabs me, but this one did. The song writting of Jimmy Reemes & Rick Wilson is Impressive. reprinted with permission --------------------------------------------------------------------- ............. I was taken back by the use of instruments on the album, "From the cradle to the Cross". Employing guitars, drums , keyboards etc. It's almost like mini symphonies the way they interwork with each other. Broken Rose is a group to be considered ! They rock with tunes like " He's all that I need" then capture your heart with the haunting melody of "Angel Lullaby" Ingrid Thomason Producer: "The Beatles Reunion"
