Here are the short reviews I gave to Phil Stacey and Chris Sligh in my reviews in www.newreleasetuesday.com/
First, here is Phil's:Do you love country music but but are put off by the occasional lyric about cheating boyfriends, drinking, etc? This is the album for you. Phil is the third Christian from season 6 of American Idol to release a CD, along with Jordin Sparks and Chris Sligh. The album if full of positive messages from a Christian point of view, like "Be Good To Each Other" and "Looking Like Love." It has songs that could be played on Christian radio, like John Waller's "Identity." The country is not overly twangy, just great stuff like his rising single "If You Didn't Love Me" and "Round Here." Check him out, you'll be glad you did!
I gave it 4 and a half stars, as I also did for Chris Sligh. here is my review for him:Sligh sings for the Lord | Posted May 13, 2008
As a big fan of American Idol, season 6 was a great year for Christian artists. Sligh is the third one to release an album following Jordin Sparks and Phil Stacey, and the first one to be mostly aimed at the Christian market. The album is solid from top to bottom and has a good mix of rockers to ballads. Radio friendly throughout, I'm sad "Empty Me" isn't climbing the charts faster than I expected. Other highlights include "Vessel" and "Are You Pleased." The "fro patrol" delivers.
The above site can't compare to myccm for community, but like the ccmmagazine website, it does have a lot of great stuff for Christian music fans to fill the void of the print edition of CCM being over.
