This early 90's acid jazz group The Young Disciples is fronted by Carleen Anderson. I believe she is a true example and a true role model that shine's God's light to the lost and broken people who need hope. She is an example of true worship and I am so proud of her for allowing God to use her in way's that she will never know until she step's into eternity.
The reason I got into Carleen Anderson was because of Paul Weller, one of my favorite artists.
When I was a little child, I was brought up on Paul Weller and he used to be in The Jam and
The Style Council. I listened to Paul Weller's first solo album on vinyl when I was 6 years of age.
I was in Class 1 at Hillmorton First School at that time and it brings back memories.
Paul Weller's first album contains song like ''Into Tomorrow'', ''Bull Rush'', ''Above The Clouds'',
and Uh Huh Oh Yeh. ''I Didn't Mean To Hurt You'' was written for Dee C Lee who used to be in The Style Council. Some of the songs from Paul Weller's 1st solo album came from his experience of wrestling with self doubt and that he is still searching.
I think the Young Disciples CD is very uplifting and I totally enjoy listening to this album.
The lyrical content is absolutely excellent and I do believe it applies to this generation that is going through an identity crisis and is suffering a lack of vision which I have addressed before when I reviewed the James Fortune and Fiya album ''Identity''.
There is too much hatred in this world and the people in this world are not communicating. We don't seem to socialise and we are stained with so much apathy.
Today Facebook and Mobile Phones are replacing true community and it grieves me. I have said this before when I reviewed the Trip Lee album ''The Good Life''. Community is important and we cannot afford to waste our lives in Isolation. We need to come together. Church of God, stop criticising your brothers and sisters and start playing your part.
The single on this Young Disciples album is ''Apparently Nothin (Soul River) and it was on the radio in the early 90's. Ex Style Council keyboardist Mick Talbot also plays the keyboards on most of the songs and Steve White who used to be a drummer in The Style Council and also has also been in Paul Wellers backing band for a long time does the drumming on ''As We Come (To Be). Steve White is one of my favorite drummers and his drumming style is completely unbelievable. He is totally awesome on the drums.
If you enjoy listening to music from the early 90's, this album is recommended.
To let you know, Paul Weller is one of the most innovative singer songwriters and is also a very talented artist who pushed the creative boundaries and has written some very amazing songs. The guitar riffs are totally impressive and the drum rhythms are mindblowing. Paul Weller has got a knack at creating some amazing vibes and there have been some use of electronics on some of his recordings especially on my favorite Paul Weller album ''Stanley Road. The producer of some of the Paul Weller albums is Brendon Lynch. He is a absolute genious and a whizz kid at producing.
One of my favorite songs on Stanley Road is ''Whirlpools End''. It is a long track clocking about 7 minutes. Awesome Guitars, great backing vocals and some awesome use of electronics. The song ends with an all clear siren. I think the David Crowder Band would be amazed and impressed with some of the Paul Weller songs on Stanley Road due to the use of electronics.
I encourage you to check out the David Crowder Band. They are one of the most unconventional worship bands and they also use electronics in their music. Check out the album Church Music.
If you like the Young Disciples, I truly recommend Out Of Eden. Check out their albums ''Lovin The Day and ''More Than You Know''. May God bless you and keep on being creative to the glory of God. To God be the glory now and forever.
