You are with me

Beating Time

TITLE: YOU ARE WITH ME
ARTIST: Clive Parnell
WEBSITE: http://www.cliveparnell.blogspot.com/
PRICE: £6.00
FORMAT: CD (7 tracks, 23 mins.)
STYLE: contemporary worship

I managed to blag a review copy of Clive’s CD when I bumped into him on a soggy field in the Welsh borders. Clive is a Creative Evangelism Trainer for UCCF, and the occasion was a Phatfish gig at Forum 09, an under-canvas conference for CU leaders.

Over the past decade Clive has fronted bands such as IndigoEcho and The Mystery Tent at the Edinburgh Festival and Greenbelt (three albums are still available via the iTunes store). You are with me is his debut solo album and represents a recent, yet initially reluctant move into leading worship.

His voice and guitar are not unlike Kendrick’s, but the writing style more akin to Redman’s (by which I mean: simple lyrics, an emphasis on rhythm, and a fair amount of repetition). The songs have the integrity of coming from the heart, reflecting Clive’s recent walk with God. The focus is on who God is, what he has done in Jesus, and what our response should be. In a word: useful.
