"In Awe of You" CD by Philip Stanley Klein

Klein's flair for the dramatic shines through in the latest CD

Reviewed by Amy Green

The confident voice of a fine musician singing great melodies is always cause for rejoicing and Philip Stanley Klein's new CD has some beautiful tunes and grand music making.

Klein's home element is clearly the stage. Many times, as the music swelled and Klein's voice took flight, I felt as if the singer was compelling me and from just beyond the speakers and only wished that we could make eye contact. Klein's desire to seize hold of his audience and leave them with a deeper passion for the Lord is in every track.

If you love drama, you'll enjoy hearing the old Russian national anthem in a beautiful rendition entitled, "The Love of God." Anyone who's spent long hours studying the Book of Ephesians will equally appreciate the way it's been encompassed in his opening track ("Ephesians"). But then he joins the fiddle in the plaintive opening notes in "Take My Sin, Oh God," I didn't know whether to laugh or sigh.

On the other hand, sometimes the arrangements are a bit too clever. Saying there's something for everyone is not always a compliment. I had trouble following Klein's "island beat" when he started singing "Humble yourself before the Lord."

One thing is for certain: Klein never lacks emotional flair. Trumpets, fiddles, timpani, crescendos, they're all here.

Considering the contemporary scene, Klein has great timing. This is a great day for men with real voices. Let's have more of it, shmaltz and all - and conference organizers take note - we need to see this guy on stage. After listening to this album a few times I'm excited about the prospect of eye contact.
