The Motions| Posted December 06, 2009
I haven't heard many of his songs, but his song "The Motions" was really powerful to me, and really catchy. I love it!!
GREAT investment...| Posted December 05, 2009
I bought Matthew's 'Something To Say' CD on a whim a week before I saw him on the Boomin' Beyond Measure tour...one of the best investments i've ever made. Matthew is a giften musician, God not only speaks to him, but through him as well, and it shows on each of his albums. If your thinking about seeing him live or buying an album? Trust me: go for it. :)
Go West Young Matthew| Posted December 05, 2009
I own Happy, History, Sellout, and Something to Say. I was really hoping after the 2nd album that he was going to continue titling his CDs using one word that begins with 'H'. Think of the great album titles he could have used like Habakkuk or Haircut.
Good guy, great talent| Posted December 01, 2009
Matthew West never fails to impress. I just heard his latest song today, "Give This Christmas Away", and loved it.
Very nice| Posted November 28, 2009
It is rare to find an artist who so evidentally believes in what he is singing. And it makes a big difference. This guy is great.
