"Love Is Above It All"

Review of “Love Is Above It All”
Artist: Jackie Bates
**************
You cannot listen to an artist of this league, and compare her to several others. You must allow yourself to open up, free up some boundaries or barriers that we have become accustomed to. She is very confident, and is fired-up for the Lord's ministry and message. But, her inner beauty shines through in these songs loud and clear. Her intonation is dead-on , and she has no shortage of power for the crystal clear Review of new album CD, "Love Is Above It All"

This album is a wonderful gift to the world of music, and certainly will be a continual testament to glorify and honor our Holy Father above. The chosen songs are very inspiring, and touching. The message is clear and concise in each and every selection. Jackie sings each and every song from the heart, and you can feel and hear the loving touch of The Holy Spirit laced throughout this entire album, lending approval and a divine flavor.

Jackie has a totally unique sense of what she thinks is worthy of communicating in a song. Her lyrics are chosen carefully, and the pattern of chords and melody are also from a universe far, far, away. She is a hybrid blend of many wonderful influences, and musical heroes. It would be very difficult to categorize this artist, because she is simply unique. She is one of God's splendid ambassadors of music.

This music is hard to be viewed as “just another album”. It is easy to see, that this artist is well read, and well traveled. You just don’t arrive at this point of creativity, without having a prior track record in life. She is quite entertaining, to say the least, and easy to feel at ease around her. Her diction and lyrics are clear and precise, and the musical delivery is no less focused on her vision.
high range of notes, that she flawlessly executes time after time.

In the midst of so much cannon fodder, musically, that is forced upon us by mainstream radio, I find an artist of this caliber very refreshing.

Jackie has her own voice. She simply does not sound like anyone else. Personally, I find great value in that alone. Her voice has a tremendous projection, and could be compared to Connie Smith, or Linda Rhonstadt in the amount of thrust her voice exudes.

The album, “Love Is Above It All”, shows wonderful colors of this artist's palette.

Folks, if you are tired of the same old vanilla,…………..rest assured, there are definitely a
number of new flavors in this album, that you’re sure to like. No matter what type of music appeals to you, this is an extremely attractive work of music that is sure to draw many people to the riches and blessings that we are offered and allowed by Our Creator And Master, The Lord Our God.

Enjoy “Love Is Above It All”, by one of America’s future musical legends,…….Jackie Bates.

"Questioned Salvation"

I’ve only been Saved since Feb. 9, 2000 and I’ve never questioned that I was Saved, by the Blood of Jesus. What I couldn’t understand was why, after all I’ve done wrong.
Then the Holy Spirit sends along a message through a song like “I Will” to tell me that He’s here for me no matter what. But the devil kept telling me that my sins will keep me from heaven, and I cry inside. Then another song plays, “What Sin?” And the devil has to leave. The tears are on the outside now, but not in sorrow, but tears of Joy.
This collection is so Spiritually presented, and the talent God chose, from the singer to all the band, is so Anointed by God. All the tracks will Bless you and help you understand that we can let go of the past and live knowing the hope Jesus offered on the Cross is a reality if we Know Him! “A Promise That HE Made” tells of the assurance “You Guide My Way” tells HE will lead us. And “Holy Waters” seals it.
I can’t say enough about this collection except it won’t gather dust from not being played. It’s Awesome!
