DARREL EVANS
Wish you were among the first to think of something as simple as putting vitamins in water and making your 'millions'? While vitamins and water are two standard essentials, the new release, "Nothing Less Than Everything" by Darrell Evans has two standards as well. It offers the experience of a proven songwriter with some of the songs that are now among the top worship songs of today, and a fresh, powerful sound of worship and encouragement.
If you have ever sung "Trading My Sorrows" or felt the connection with "Your Love Is Extravagant", you already know Darrell Evans' ability to write soul relating music. What you can't find inside the disc index is how you can so quickly grasp the words as if they came from your personal journal. We know Evans' past award nominations, record sales, and song standards have already validated his works to the Christian music industry. However, you can tell that his latest anthology was not from occupational duty to write a hit. Your ears will be your soul's witness that it was born in a personal journey with God which moved Darrell's spirit and changed his life.
These songs cannot be grouped or pegged into one simple category of musical identity. "You are God" and "Beautiful Savior" are two examples of modern songs that play well in both traditional and contemporary settings. In the quietly ministered lyrics, "Your nail-scarred hands are beautiful...for by Your wounds our wounds are healed", exude personally haunting emotion. You realize this kind of thought did not come from distant observation but from personal revelation. "Everything", the catchiest pop song on the project, bursts with energy and has been a crowd favorite in Darrell's concerts. Although it is filled with hooks, what you take away from the song is a spirit of absolute surrender to the Lord. It will cheer you to banish a bad day and celebrate a good one. The unscripted laughter during the recording of "The Joy of the Lord" is contagious with authenticity and familiarity. "In Jesus' Name" has the inspiration and motivation to the Spirit as that of a Marine Corp anthem. You almost feel you need to stand as the words draw you to full attention.
There is a reason this collection of songs is so relatable to all. According to Darrell, "When you are stripped bare from the pain and burden of a compromising world, your own inadequacies and struggles, all that is left is honest desperation and gratefulness to God. These songs are like a personal reply after you 'google' your soul. I found what I need from God is exactly what I want to give to God: Nothing less than everything."
Nothing Less Than Everything provides a new standard for private life or group devotion. As with most of these songs, regardless of the varying rhythms and innovative sounds, you recognize a tangible manifestation of life force that changes the atmosphere around you. That in itself is the very reason we buy, download, and crank up music. You won't be disappointed with the domino effect "Nothing Less Than Everything" will bring to your own personal sphere of influence.
