Lisa Bevill - Lisa Bevill (2000)

Though she recorded three successful albums for Sparrow (this is her first for Ministry Music), Lisa Bevill is one of those artists whose recognition and acclaim have yet to match the scope of her considerable talent. She's a passionate, gutsy vocalist- possessing one of those female voices with a meaty resonance that infuses a lyric with authority. After taking time off to re-prioritize her life, Bevill returns with a powerful collection o songs, six of which she penned herself. "Something Worth Dying For" is a stand out cut about commitment. "Life Is A Mystery" was written for the girls who attend a camp Bevill developed, and it encourages girls to slow down and enjoy their youth. Other prime cuts include " No Turning Back", "Come Back To Me," "Ride," and "How Strong He Is." This is a stellar package revealing a dedicated artist in peak form. It should garner renewed support at Christian radio and retail for this gifted artist.
