Scott Ziegler's new independent release is a worship album featuring southern-rock and acoustic styling, an easy-going, upbeat and lyrically straight-forward approach to modern praise music.
There's a sunny glow to Ziggie's melodies; his songs are written from a happy and thankful heart, and it shines through The Music of My Life from start to finish. The title-track and "Child of God" are especially good, showcasing a very strong voice and nice string-accompaniment within the latter song. The record becomes more eclectic in its latter half, including a surprisingly good, jazzy closing song titled "Eagle's Wings."
His songs use a lot of familiar worship lines and images, but the uplifting tone of his songs and the select impressive tracks are bright signs of a genuine and talented worship artist. If Ziegler can apply a more unique, Ziggie-fied approach to his lyrics and more fully realize his sound, he could become a very solid and even more enjoyable worship artist.
