Adopting the name All Sons & Daughters in reference to each other but more significantly the listeners who are vital to this active fellowship process, the duo first contributed to Integrity’s Know Hope Collective, a new worship endeavor led by former members of Audio Adrenaline. They then proceeded to record their own debut project, the six-song EP entitled Brokenness Aside.
David and Leslie entered the studio with producer Paul Mabury (Hillsong, Brooke Fraser, One Sonic Society) and a team of players whose credits include Mat Kearney, Chris Tomlin, and Third Day, setting one definitive ground rule in place: for Brokenness Aside to contain only real sounds performed by real people without any computerized tricks. Raised in Arkansas and the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee, these two southerners do exude an all-natural, no-frills honesty in their strikingly harmonious musical creations. So amidst tender melodies and chiming acoustic instruments, you will hear handclaps and foot stomps, heavy sighs and hearty hallelujahs—genuine souls singing with unflinching candor about the peaks and valleys of the Christian life.

I was eager to hear this album, and was super excited to be able to listen to it on NRT before the release. As soon as it became available, I listened to the whole thing, and totally fell in love with it. Both of their voices meld together so beautifuly, for a wonderful sound. I love how they have a cool, slightly coffee-house sound, but have wonderful worship lyrics. My personal favorite was "Brokenness Aside". Wonderful message, and loved the sound. Over all fantastic album - Can't wait 'til it comes out! :) It's a must get.
