I’m listening to Jason’s new project as I’m writing this and I’m not surprised that it’s the best I’ve ever heard him. A great mix of songs from a great guy. I’m so proud of Jason. I pray that God keeps him in the palm of HIS hand.

On “Daystar” is it the NEW GVB that is backing him up or is it the 2008 lineup???

It is amazing to me that anyone who has spent any time around Jason could possibly miss the sincerity, humbleness and generosity coupled with the amazing talent God has given him and he is using for The Kingdom. Have listened to the CD several times, watched “The Best of The Crabb Family video several times, have seen and heard some of the songs in person and, to this avid old fan, they are both great releases. I agree most heartedly with Michael Davis’ Post No. 9. This is, in deed, a Godly young man. To accomplish what he has done at 30 or 31 years of age and pass up other opportunities which would have made is life a lot more “comfortable” to do what God has called him to do is AWESOME! IF YOU PREACH IT, LIVE IT!!!

I preordered this CD and was not disappointed when I listened to it for the first time.

I thought the new Through the Fire sounded a little middle eastern, but it is still very good.

Does anybody else think that #4 “Worth it All” sounds like “Climbing Up The Mountain” on the chorus?

OK, so here’s the thing…after reading all these comments I went back and listened again to Jason’s project. There have been times when I’ve not loved an album after the first listening - for whatever reason - maybe I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to truly absorb it at that moment. But, over the years, there have been many projects that have grown on me and have become my favorites in the end. So NOW I get it. And I’m growing to really love it….for many reasons. I appreciate Jason’s understated vocals - the songs probably dictated much of that, but it’s nice to hear more finesse than fanfare from him. I may be wrong, but I can see this project becoming a pivotal reference piece for the future of Southern Gospel music. I contest that most God-fearing, church-going people who prefer Country music because of its relevance and honesty have not found the spiritual equivalent in SG. Jason’s album seamlessly incorporates the spiritual into the work-a-day man’s reality - without the sense of agenda-based proselytism, or the one-dimensional approach found in much of SG. If this project does as well as I think it will do, SG could be on the verge of being redefined. Not a bad thing.

Well I bought this from iTunes the day it was released because I was able to listen to it first. Jason’s peeps “got it” - you give it away and you get more in return - oh wait, isn’t that a BIBLICAL way to do things too?

I recently had occassion to make a little road trip for business and took the opportunity to listen to this new CD. I love it. As moderator said the fresh arrangements and great songs position this CD for potential success in country, sg, and maybe even ccm genres.
Several of the songs moved me to tears, literally. Maybe it was the ability to really listen as I cruised down the highway, lost in the moment, captivated by the music. Maybe it was my heart’s willingness to hear the messages in the songs. Whatever the combination of forces was in that hour, it worked for me, and I was moved by this project.

My favorite Dylan reference in a non-gospel song is by Rodney Crowell in “Beautiful Despair”

“Beautiful despair is hearing Dylan
When you’re drunk at 3 a.m.
Knowing that the chances are
No matter what you’ll never write like him”

For “somebody like me”, songs with the like of Jason Crabb’s new recordings, want and need to hear there is hope. We get blinded by doubt, fear and pain and our heart is clouded by these emotions. Praise God! for help and comfort through music.

Broussardandjasonfan, you my friend have great taste in music. I heard Marc about 7 years ago in ATL (wow, it doesn’t seem that long), and I’ve been a fan ever since.
