Rich Mullins February 15, 2008
Oh man. The guy just gets better with age. He gets into his Apalachian and Irish roots on this one. I love anything Irish and Apalachian. He manages to put out great music and lyrics, all while giving God all the glory. He shares with us his sojourn into exploring his roots and brings us listeners into the journey with him. Another "must have" for Rich Mullins fans.
An album that will leave you Speechless November 29, 2007
I'm so glad I got to hear him play these songs before he passed away. He was a great artist, and he always said the most profound things. This is one of those albums that I love to listen to all the way through. Sometimes I'll just listen to Peace, Creed, or Hold Me Jesus but I love to just listen to the whole thing. It truely is his magnum opus. "Nobody tells you when you get born here/how much you'll come to love it/and how you'll never belong here...Hold Me Jesus/I'm shaking like a leaf/you have been my king of glory/wont you be my prince of peace/surrender don't come naturally for me/I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want then take what you give that I need."
Absolute Greatest June 20, 2007
This is an often played masterpiece at my house. It is simply wonderful. If you enjoy Celtic music, you'll love The Color Green. If you enjoy folk and pop, you'll love Here in America. Bottom line, you really will probably love all the songs on this album. Enjoy!
A Masterpiece... April 15, 2007
This CD has been one of my favorites for years. Seeing it again here on Amazon brought back so much emotion and admiration that I couldn't help but add to the existing reviews. Rich Mullins was a virtuoso, a Christian artist of depth and compassion beyond the scope of any of those who would attempt to be a peer of the peerless. His mark is as profound as that of any composer or poet ever known.
Unparalleled Lyricism November 12, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
"A Liturgy, A Legacy, and A Ragamuffin Band" is an album unparalleled in allusion and lyricism. Its songs are threaded by the "American Dream," an umbrella term for dreams both broken and realized here in "the land of the free and the home of the brave." In particular, "Land of my Sojourn" is rich in double meanings, both of merit and noteworthy. Mullins incorporates many aspects of American culture, including Emma Lazarus's "The New Colossus," the Catholic creed, and holiday traditions as evidenced by "The Christmas Song". There are so many indelible lines (e.g., "There's so much beauty around us with just two eyes to see, but everywhere I go I'm looking.") If you skim the reviews for this album, you will find many individuals quoting and paraphrasing lyrics--that alone is a testament to the album's proverbial quality. This album reiterates the idea of profundity in simplicity. It is an extension of the inimitable and dynamic life of Rich Mullins.
