Live but not kicking

Jeremy Camp Live, the latest for the creed like worship crooner, should appeal to the legion of Campites, but to those not in that camp (sorry, I couldn't resist), there isn't much to set it apart from the others. Tonite is the radio favorite from the album. Personally I much prefer It is well, the studio worship selection from Kutless. It is much harder. Personally, the best live worship album is ardent worship Skillet:Live.
The album mixes styles, some creed like, others southern rock ala Third Day, otherwise typical alternative rock. Maybe its due to its 'worship album' niche, but Camp never seems to cut loose, and he does in a lot of the studio albums. The album sounds restrained and safe.
In my opinion, what this album needs is a distinctive, exotic, sound, maybe from somewhere like South Africa. Oh yeah, that's right that was the Benjamin Gate. Thanks Jeremy. Now that would get 5 stars from me. Benjamin Gate Live.
If you already love Jeremy Camp, you'll probably love this album. Anyone else should probably wait for the next studio release. View All Music And Book Reviews By wencdj | View wencdj's Profile
