Listen to All Of Us: Bible Songs For Everyone
A project from the duo behind Spaghetti Eddie, as Parker & Alexander the pair bring us family friendly Bible stories with their varied and skilled musicianship guiding the experience.
“Celebration Of Creation” starts the listen with summery pop-rock where infectious melodies soundtrack the Biblical wordplay, and “In The Beginning” continues with folksy strumming amid the flowing and upbeat atmosphere.
Elsewhere, “Jonah” trims the pace back to reflective with a warm rootsy feeling, while “Ten Commandments” uses playful retro rhythm to tell the timeless story. “Good Samaritan”, one of the album’s strongest tunes, then offers frisky yet precise songwriting in the soft rock.
At the end, “The Lord’s Prayer” is a more bare example of their pop-rock stylings with a dense beat, and “Three Dark Days” ends the listen a bit darker in scope with much attention to detail, but, when you consider the subject matter, the mood makes perfect sense.
Both Oklahoma residents, Brendan Parker and Erick Alexander are also both parents and long time musicians, and that veteran talent is certainly present on this adventurous rock’n’roll religious affair.
