Music reviews of Jesus Record
Music Review: Rich's last work probably his best...
Rating: 5 Stars
This album has 69 reviews as of today, yet I feel compelled to put in my 2 cents' worth. Many Christian music fans can remember when they heard of Rich's sudden tragic death - I heard about it at a time when there were a lot of changes going on in my life. Rich died on a Friday night and on Sunday morning, someone at church told me. During the service, I kept thinking of Rich's song "If I Stand":So if I stand let me stand on the promise That you will pull me through And if I can't let me fall on the grace That first brought me to You And if I sing let me sing for the joy That has born in me these songs And if I weep let it be as a man Who is longing for his home
And then most Rich fans remember "Elijah" - I have to wonder if Rich knew that Jesus would be calling him home...
But when I leave I want to go out like Elijah With a whirlwind to fuel my chariot of fire And when I look back on the stars Well, It'll be like a candlelight in Central Park And it won't break my heart to say goodbye
Both of the above-mentioned songs are on Rich's "Songs" CD - I highly recommend that album!
From this The Jesus Record, I'd have to say that my favorite song is "That Where I Am That You May Also Be", the last track on both discs. I like both discs - I'm glad they included the rough recording and preserved the "Rich-ness" of his original arrangements. But I also very much enjoy and respect what his friends the Ragamuffins and also the other Christian artists did with these songs. Rich is indeed missing from this more-produced disc (except for the last track), but I think they did an outstanding job with a difficult task.
If you haven't heard Rich's music, I highly recommend The Jesus Record, Songs, Winds of Heaven Stuff of Earth, The World As Best as I Remember It Volumes 1 and 2. For books, read "The Ragamuffin Gospel" by Brennan Manning which was where the term "Ragamuffin Band" came from.

Description of Jesus Record
Jesus Record, The Disc One by MULLINS, RICHThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
This double album contains two discs, ostensibly two versions of the same record. The first disc contains Mullins's crude demos of 9 of the 10 songs on the album, recorded on a battery-powered box only a few days before his untimely death. Even with the abundance of tape noise, pops, clicks, and bum notes, Mullins's skill as a performer and passion for this material shines clearly through. The second disc contains the same songs, fully produced by Rich's band, the Ragamuffins, with special guests Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Ashley Cleveland, and Phil Keaggy. These performances feel haunted as well, trying to be faithful to Mullins's vision as a performer and folk/ethnic musicologist without resorting to grave robbing. Pennywhistles, accordians, and upright bass strike a jagged edge against the polished sheen of orchestras and children's choirs. The guest vocalists make Mullins's songs their own, while the Ragamuffin-sung tunes naturally carry more of the spirit of his own recordings. --Brad S. Caviness
