    Ah...the moment "Dry Bones" hits you right between the eyes is a special one... "But I don't believe that it's over now/These dry bones can breathe again..." Amen, brother! Heartfelt, spiritually astute songs filled with fire and skill make Stutter absolutely essential. From the dramatic "Breathe Into Me" ("I need a heart as big as my heart") to the breezy "Shine" ("I never dared to give love/The only way I cared to live was free/But you blew my pride apart/Showed me how my heart was meant to be"), Stutter is a powerful personal statement that works on every level.

    With the verve of Bono, the passion of Martin (delirious?) Smith and the attitude of David Crowder, Murray presents his God-centric offering without a hint of self-consciousness. This is special, indeed.
