Artist: Ray Vester Project Title: I Cast My Bread Upon The Water Label: Independent Producers: Ray Vester
Ray Vester is someone that we have reviewed a few different times on this website. His latest effort is titled "I Cast My Bread Upon The Water" and it is another good effort from Ray.
The first song on the project is the title song of the project. "I Cast My Bread Upon The Water" is a familiar song in Gospel Music and I always enjoying hearing it again. When it some to familiar and classic songs in Southern Gospel Music, it gets no more familiar than "Who Am I." I have always loved the message of this great song and the question that it asks. "God Delivers Again" is the next song on the project and this song does a wonderful reminding that God will deliver us from situations time after time. The next song on the project is a former number one song for Karen Peck and New River. It has been several years since I heard "Four Days Late." The song is still a great one and it was great to hear it again.
"Come On In" picks up the tempo and reminds us that we can find rest in our Savior, Jesus Christ. Next on the project is a song titled "Out Of Bondage." It is a beautiful song with a tremendous message that will speak to the listener. Next up on the project is the upbeat song "Angels Step Back." The song talks of that day when we reach Heaven and what a great thought that is!
"Missed Opportunities" is the next song on the project and this is the second song on the project written by Ray. What a thought-provoking song and it talks of the times that we missed the opportunity to tell someone about Christ. It encourages us to always be faithful and bold in talking about Christ every time we are given a chance. Another favorite from a few years ago is next as Ray sings the classic "Shoutin' Time." That is always a fan favorite and I am guessing it will be a favorite of the listeners of this project too. "I Feel A Little Song Coming On" has long been a favorite song of mine and I enjoyed Ray's version of this song too. A Carroll McGruder classic song is next and Ray does a great job closing out this project with "I'm Going Home With Jesus."
As I said, we have reviewed a few of Ray Vester's projects over the years. This is probably the best one that I have heard to date. The song selection is good as it incorporates some known song, some classic songs and a couple of original songs. It also has a nice mix of up tempo and slower songs. My favorite songs from the project are ""A Little Song Coming On," "Missed Opportunities" and "God Delivers Again." Ray has another good project here that will without a doubt make all of his fans happy and perhaps get him a few more!
