Summary: Amazing even to the ears of an 18 year old who usually listens to punk music.
Comment: Jeremy Camp's unplugged album is one of my very favorite cd's that I own, and that is really saying something, because about 90% of my cd collection is punk music. I want to share a little testimony story on here if that's cool with you. (Don't worry, it has to do with the CD.)
So I grew up in a Christian household and always heard of Jesus every day at home and in school. It went in one ear and out the other. It was like, "blah blah blah Jesus blah blah blah." As I went thru high school I never took my Savior very seriously and well.....my heart just wasn't in the right place. Then in the winter of Senior year I went thru a huge change of heart and Jesus became the most important thing in my life. This album played a huge role in that. My dad got it for Christmas and I gave it a couple listens and adopted it as my own. (Don't worry, Dad was cool with it.) I loved being able to relate to the lyrics and come closer to my Savior. He really reintroduced Himself to me thru this album. Today I am in college preparing for the teaching ministry and I will be spending the rest of my life teaching high school age kids about Jesus as they go thru their teenage politics. <--haha mxpx...never mind.
Anyways, ON TO MY REVIEW OF THIS ALBUM!!!!!
Allright, this album is a little on the longer side, a little less than an hour...something like that. It is a bunch of Jeremy Camp's
singles, including his very best songs, (Take You Back, Walk By Faith, My Desire.) The songs go over a variety of lyrical topics, so it won't get redundant at all. For example, one of my favorites, "My Desire" is all about wanting to be used to do God's will. It is extremely easy to relate to, and you can listen to it as a prayer to God, saying to Him, "Here I am, send me." Walk By Faith is about knowing everything will be just fine, because it's all God's plan for you, and you just know in your heart that He knows what is best for you. I could go on for a long time, but I won't.
To accompany these honest and heartfelt lyrics, this album offers very laid back acoustic guitars and piano and light percussion. It's the perfect album to just chill and listen to. So when you feel the need to just refresh your mind and have some alone time with your Savior, definately pick up this album.
Allright, I'm done. I hope you check this album out, because it's worth a listen. I hope it effects your life like it did mine.
God bless!!!

Summary: The Christian Version of Hear Music
Comment: If you drink coffee, than you know Starbucks. I personally hate the company, and drink for that matter. But if you've ever been in a Starbucks, then chances are you've heard their background music. That's Hear Music, Starbuck's own music brand who just released the new Paul Mcartney CD, and released the famous last Ray Charles duet album. The brand often releases "Unplugged" or acoustic versions of popular AC songs, i.e. Alanis Morrisote, Oh how I hate her.
This is the Christian's Hear Music album. A great CD to drink coffee to, or just read a book and relax.
Note: This is not a live album, it's just unplugged in front of a select audience of maybe 50 people. This is not what a Jeremy Camp concert looks like, there's no orchestra or conductor behind him.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's explore the quality of the album. Underrated is the word. Nobody liked the album because they thought it was "Live", so nobody bought it. But get the album's true art, and you'll love it. The album is an acoustic masterpiece. Every song is given a new layer, and many times improved upon. This is most evident when his wife sings with him as background vocals, nothing short of stellar.
The only problem is I wish it was longer, more songs. But overall, the album is truly an underrated classic work of art. The DVD is also a great bonus, totally adds to the album and music. The video work is very well done, and is award winning quality. So go into the album expecting a Starbucks style album, and you'll like what you hear, and want more.

One thing that will hit you quickly about Jeremy Camp's Live Unplugged is the number of radio hits the 24-year-old has already chalked up. Ten of the 11 tracks on this release were penned by Camp and nearly every one has reached the top, if not next to the top, of the Christian radio charts. It's been an amazing ride for Camp and he capably displays his career highlights here in a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. He plays it safe with basic arrangements throughout, but you will hear some nice piano touches by Justin Glasco on "Right Here" and "Empty Me." The addition of the Nashville String Machine is also used well on "My Desire," which may be the best track on the release. Along with Glasco's piano accompaniment, Camp delivers powerfully and emotionally here and maybe even surpasses the song's original version. Camp also shines bright on "Take You Back," "Stay," and "This Man." Kudos also go out to Camp's wife Adrienne (who used to lead The Benjamin Gate) for some fine backing vocals. Granted, there are a few blemishes such as the cheesy vamp at the end of "Walk By Faith," a slower-than-it-should- be version of "I Still Believe," and the head-scratching cover of Tim Hughes' "Beautiful One." But why major on the minors? Live Unplugged is a worthy effort and a nice inclusion to any Camp fan's collection. --Michael Lyttle
