There was a ton of hype surrounding this latest release from Mercy's Well. Often the hype doesn't match the finished product and you're left feeling let down. NOT that case with Skywriting. This lives up to every ounce of hype. What a wonderful collaboration between Mercy's Well and producer Donna Beauvais, as she has once again brought out the best in these guys.

The recording features a bright array of musical styles, but they manage to work cohesively and it all comes together to create a true masterpiece. From the country feel of "THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN" and the funk feel of "UNSPEAKABLE JOY" penned by Chris Binion and Donna Beauvais, you get the distinct vibe that this is going to a fun and enjoyable recording; one you will definitely listen to over and over again.

The energetic "THIS COULD BE" is one of the strongest songs on the recording. I say release this to radio and watch it go! Not just on this song, but there is lots of energy throughout the recording on other songs like "WATER WALKIN'", the Cajun flavored "LIVE A LOT" and the Dad Speer classic, "I'M GONNA TAKE A RIDE". (Dad Speer would have been proud!)

Though these guys really seem to excel on the uptempo tunes, the slower ones like "MORE THAN I DESERVE", "HE SAID YES", "I'LL SEE YOU SOON" and the CCM classic, "WHEN GOD RAN" really showcase some great emotion and provide some truly wonderful moments. Another highlight of the recording is the progressive "MAN OF GOD".

There are no two songs on this recording that sound alike. Each has its own distinct style and message, but they all blend together to create a perfect listening experience. Typically when listening to a CD, when it's done I put on a new one. When listening to this one, I found myself listening to it 2 or 3 times in a sitting, which is rare. I love what I hear.it tickles my ears, and it reaches my heart; and that is all the makings of a great recording.
