Stellar Debut from Leeland

Leeland made a name for themselves back in 2006 when they stormed onto the CCM scene with a unique sound and impressive lyrics and melodies written by the then-17-year-old lead singer and band namesake, Leeland Mooring. People were impressed that a mere teenager could write such deep, meaningful, and passionate lyrics.
And just one listen to the album shows any listener why. The album kicks off with the passionate title track singing out praises to God. The awesome songs continue into the upbeat "Reaching," and the memorable "Yes You Have." "Tears of the Saints," is next with a passionate promise to God to bring sinners home.
Those may be the best songs on the album, but the rest of the album is hardly throwaway. Songs like "Can't Stop," and "Hey" are unbelievably catchy. "Carried to the Table" is a slower song but goes out in a nice fashion.
Ultimately, this is a great debut from a great band and definitely among the more memorable debuts in recent CCM history. View All Music And Book Reviews By JJFrancesco_NRT | View JJFrancesco_NRT's Profile
