Joshua Creek enjoys charting inspirational path

I just love Joshua Creek! It seems like every song on their second album, Heaven's Not That Far, is about some aspect of my own life. It's great to have a band that actually puts thoughts into their lyrics, they tell stories; and these guys are great live!!! You can listen to them on itunes or YouTube--my favorite song is She's My Everything!

I'm their drummer. It has been a great blessing to be involved with these guys. It is amazing to see the reactions on peoples faces when we perform live. I've been in the music business for the better part of 20 years and I've never heard writing as well crafted as Jeff and Quint's. Both of their albums are full of laughter and tears for whatever person is fortunate enough to come across this great band. I'm not getting paid to say this (in fact- I don't get paid at all!) but it is important to "pass along" to those you know Joshua Creek so the "word" can continue to get out there. There is plenty wrong with the music business today and very little that is right. Joshua Creek, I'm proud to say, is a "right" that everyone can benefit from and completely enjoy. (All right guys, now you have to start paying me...)

Let me add my testimony of the feelings I get when I play the music of Joshua Creek. First of all, I am 60 years old and an avid country music fan. Nobody, I mean nobody, has anything of this group. I think that the messages that are being delivered by Joshua Creek and inspired by our Father in Heaven. I get such a warm feeling when I hear the music and listen to the words that they sing. There is not a thing that they sing about that not one of us as felt or lived before. I know that when I listen to Joshua Creek, it is as if Heavenly Father is speaking to me through them. Thanks so much Joshua Creek. Keep the Word coming for those of us who are of the persuasion and for those who aren't, but may be looking. I look very much forward to album #3.

As one of Jeff and Quint's co-writer's, let me say they have made my musical dreams come true. At one point I wanted to be a songwriter. At another point I wanted to be a songwriter in service to the Lord who made a difference in the lives of people. The songs I have written with the Hinton/Randle team have either shown up the Joshua Creek albums or are being pitched to other performers, but all are about family and faith.

We got to hear the Joshua Creek band for the first time, live, at a church banquet recently. My husband and I love good country music, but this group is the best we have ever heard, bar none. I believe it's because, not only is the music well performed, with fun narration in between the songs (I wish that could be on the albums too) but----the songs have messages that reach into people's hearts. They are about experiences people have lived through, and can relate to--and they touch your soul. You go away with a good feeling inside. My favorite song is "What Kind of Car?"
