The first album (originally released in 2005) from Yorkshire-based singer/songwriter Rebecca has a traditional, reflective sound. It remains solidly Scripture-based throughout, with the lyrics conveying solid Christian truth. "The Prisoners Song" a particularly poignant track considering the proceeds help raise funds for Justice For All/ Prison Fellowship Ethiopia. The main criticism is the strong similarity in sound and arrangement between the tracks. Also, the arrangements tended to plod without reaching any climax. Maybe future recordings would be an opportunity for Rebecca to address this well-intentioned album's weaknesses.
