Life is a Current

Around the turn of the millenium Three siblings made a giant ripple in the Ocean that is Christian Contemporary Music. Joshua, Rachel and Sarah Meeker, recording under the name of Chasing Furies, unleashed a version of alternative music not seen or heard since. Though the band was a hit with fans, with "Thicker" being the eighth most requested song of 1999 on ChristianRock.net, the band, for reasons unknown even to them, disappeared. For most, they are among the many one hit wonders of CCM.
Fast forward to 2012. Sarah Macintosh (nee Meeker) is making a mark on the CCM Charts as a solo artist, while at the same time remembering her roots. Several songs on Current, her latest release, among them We Should Run (echoes of Enchanted), Galaxy Forever and Calling Calling are definitely written for the fans of Chasing Furies. Sarah's Haunting vocals are unmatched anywhere in the current marketplace.
Current will definitely be among my picks for Best Album of 2012. I would give it more than five stars, but that's all they allow. It is definitely a good thing to keep current. View All Music And Book Reviews By wencdj | View wencdj's Profile
