Michelle Deneen
Glasswalls
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Here's a melodic rock EP with the strong voice of Michelle, who penned all the lyrics and even published a companion devotional to go with this 5-song CD. She's helped here by former Look Up guitarist Michael S. Tyrrell, who co-produced and co-wrote all the tunes and lays down the quality guitars. The sonics are top notch. Fans of Margaret Becker's first album should dig this.
Michelle cuts loose the hardest in "Looking Through A Glasswall," which also features the nicest lead breaks by Michael Tyrrell. "Mary - Mary" isn't far behind in creating a great hook. The lyrics are a very cool narration about how Mary may have led a sorrowful life as she watched her Son grow up, knowing (which she probably really didn't) all along that He must die. Very cool.
