Through the Storm
Curtis Stephan
Description
If this is his debut, it's hard to imagine how high this Texas singer/songwriter will climb. Through the Storm is brilliant and tightly produced, an irresistible mix of hard-driving rock, sweet ballads, pop and jazz. Like many Christian musicians, his heart's in the right place, but — and this is what sets Curtis apart — the songs he writes and the talent he's gathered to perform it rival anything being produced in the secular music industry.
Hold on to your hats. Curtis rocks, taking Christian music beyond where most are willing to go, pushing the envelope with a multi-layered hard rock sound that gets the blood pumping. He does it, though, without slipping into intensity for the sake of intensity. For Curtis, being in the "zone" isn't about drugs or escaping reality. It's knowing "my savior's walkin' with me."
It's not all flowers and fairy tales, because, Curtis knows, life's not like that. He's been through the storms of hard times, and knows Who got him through. These 11 songs, 10 of them written or co-written by Curtis, are his way of leading people to the Help that's at hand when we're "in over our head."
The album closes with "Lullaby for Alice," a heart-rending jazz elegy for his oldest sister, who died just days after birth. From the tenderness of this and the other ballads to the rush of his rock tracks, Through the Storm is quite a ride. Don't miss it.
