I am so excited to see a new project out by Amy Shreve. We first were acquainted with her when she and her husband Gary Wixtrom ministered at a Voice of the Martyr Conference in Fort Wayne, Indiana back in 2003. Becky and I had the honor of having them perform in two different churches we attended.
It has been a while since I heard a new, original music project, and "Storyman" is worth the wait. From the strong start of "I'm Still Dreaming," each of the eight songs grab you. Included is an alternate version of the single "Eden," which was previously released 3 years ago. Also, Gary does the lead vocal on the concluding "Better Country;" this isn't the first time he sings the final song (he did "Fortress" on the classic album "Haven").
What are my favorite songs on this project? I can honestly answer "all of them," but I'll mention which ones stand a little above the others: "I'm Still Dreaming," "How the Story Ends," "Eden" (though I like the single version better) and "Better Country."
