All My Days-Songs of Worship and Witness is the latest offering from Glenn Kaiser, who is best known for his leadership of REZ Band and his blues work with Darrell Mansfield. This time around, Kaiser has recorded an album of praise and worship music, a lot of which is used by the organization that he is a part of, Jesus People USA. It compiles songs written one-at-a time from Kaiser's quiet times with the Lord spanning the past 20 years. Over six years of intermittent studio work culminates in this unique project that serves a very important function in Kaiser's mind-praising and worshipping God. There is also a songbook available.

Judging by his past work, I was expecting this record to be somewhat different, more along the lines of what Steve Hindalong and Derri Daugherty had done with the At the Foot of the Cross recording, but more in a blues vein.

Instead, it was more along the lines of Michael Card. That's not saying it's bad, just more traditional than I had expected. As a whole, I enjoyed the album. Primarily acoustic, Kaiser and company make good use of touches of other instruments, including the violin and dulcimer. Several of the cuts featured the Grace and Glory Choir, that added nicely to the production. I especially like "All My Days" and "Lord of All." And "Wedding Prayer" is sure to show up at a few nuptials over the next year.
