Press Reviews **** Robin Parrish, www.about.com, writes: The music's (CD: Love Is The Call) beauty is found in its simplicity. No big production, no "wall of sound." The music leads you into a state of quiet, meditative praise before the Lord. ***** The single "Declare His Name" from Answer Hymn's first full length CD, "When I Called On You" has been selected by www.OasisCD.com to be on an "OasisSampler(TM) CD," specifically in the spiritual genre "OasisInspirational(TM)". Each sampler goes to a carefully chosen list of 200-500 radio stations nationwide, all of them stations with a proven track record of playing independently-produced music. ***** Paul Gentry, CMCA Staff, writes: "It is quite evident that this album (CD: When I Called On You) was created to touch the hearts of the listener, and it certainly accomplishes that purpose." *** Robin Parrish, www.about.com, writes: "It (CD: When I Called On You) manages to all at once show different influences of folk, blues, modern world music, with even Celtic sounds at times." **** Mike McGuirk, www.listen.com, writes: "Vocals are beautifully harmonized with a closeness akin to Dave Crosby and Co. while snappy British accents add to the overall charm."
