Soon to be a popular ccm name | Posted April 18, 2009
Jason Allen Rich's debut album/EP definitely has the sound for a contemporary christian worship artist. On some songs I would compare him a little bit to Jeremy Camp and even somewhat to MercyMe.
Musically the album isn't anything astounding but with "Lamb of Glory" there is a nice piano backing that shows that Jason Allen Rich isn't just a one trick pony. Vocally, he sounds like a cross between Chris Daughtry and Jeremy Camp, which in my opinion is a pretty good thing.
The lyrics will definitely fit in with other ccm artists. With lines like "Oh Lord, come back to us. How long will you delay? Satisfy with love and take us away." (Take Us Away), Jason seems to follow in the typical CCM lyrical format.
My favorites on this album are Take Us Away, Arms Open Wide, and Lamb of Glory. This album isn't groundbreaking or even very original with many of the songs sounding similar to various other CCM artists, but Jason Allen Rich is on his way to making a name for himself in the CCM world.
