Awesome God ~ Awesome God: A Tribute To Rich
One of contemporary Christian music’s most beloved songwriters and performers, Rich Mullins left behind an important body of work. His untimely death in late 1997 shocked fans and brought peers to their knees, knowing that while Mullins now resides in a better place, his presence would be profoundly and deeply missed. Awesome God is infused with the emotion and heartbreak felt by his contemporaries as they strive to honor him on this special tribute. Carolyn Arends’s direct delivery of “Jacob and Two Women” is wrenching, while Kevin Max turns “Save Me” into an intriguing ambient postrock anthem. Michael W. Smith gives a powerful and uncharacteristically gritty take on Mullins’s signature “Awesome God” and Billy Sprague’s chunky, distorted loops on “A Place to Stand” recall the production of Daniel Lanois. Younger bands Jars of Clay and Caedman’s Call hold forth with acoustic versions of “If I Stand” and “Step by Step,” the latter being the closing tribute to a dear friend and mentor. –Paige La Grone
