Ten Independent Artists You Should Know (Spring 2002)
If these guys can lock down a full band and beef up their songwriting a bit, then Rev 21 has a hopeful future, which makes their debut’s title even more appropriate.Robin WeltyImagine Yourself Forgivenwww.robinwelty.com Modern pop/rockConsidering the first-rate production, the talent of the musicians involved, and the hype surrounding her project, it’s a wonder Robin Welty isn’t already signed by one of the major record labels such as Sparrow, Word, or Rocketown. These guys can rock with the best of them, especially on songs such as “He’ll Take the Blues From You,” “Preacherman Told Me,” and “You Gotta Have Jesus.” The band takes a more soulful turn on the title track (a thoughtful variation on The Prayer of Jabez) and on “Life on the Run,” and embrace more of a country blues sound on “When We Get to Heaven” and “Seven Promises.” Excellent musicianship abounds from all involved in this album, and it’s helped by Dave’s joyful and original songwriting. “Now and Then” powerfully interprets Psalm 139 into something original, sad, and comforting (not so unlike many of the psalms): “I know where I’m bound and where I’m chained and where I’m left alone / I know no hunger and I know no pain, but tonight I wanna go home.” Sandra’s voice is something of a cross between Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan, and a young Emmy Lou Harris, and her music has the same folk sound as Shawn Colvin or Julie Miller.
