CD Review: "Faint Not" by Jenny & Tyler

Artist: Jenny & Tyler

Label: Independent/NoiseTrade.com

So when I got the press release for this Duo's CD I was impressed, it didn't read like your usual press release. It was more like a letter from Jenny giving a biography about how she met her husband Tyler. A very romantic story of two college kids meeting on a bus and how they ended up leading the campus worship ministry together, practicing songs in stairwells and eventually they started dating.

So the fact that their married seems to help you understand the chemistry they have together for writing songs. Through out the entire CD on each track their voices blend and compliment each other well. The most notable track being the title song "Faint Not" with Jenny taking the lead it has a very Alison Krauss feel. With lyrics like "The problems not a gun, not a color not a hundred dollar bill, we think the struggle can be won with simple thoughts like come together, be good willed, The gap between the rich and poor is spreading out all the more so they say, we ignore the claims" you can tell their trying to open the listeners eyes up to some real social and spiritual issues we all face today.

The 11 songs on this disc range from simple acoustic ballads and hymns like "Psalm 46" to full on ensembles like "Song For You" and "Carry Me". The song "Carry Me" also features a Mac Powell from the band Third Day performing a powerful chorus.

The overall mood of the CD is a peaceful blend of acoustic rock with a light folk and country flavor mixed in. It's a great CD to listen to when you need to unwind, and the musical passion and energy Jenny & Tyler share together on this disc makes this a great CD to play for a romantic evening with your loved one.
