Artist: Jason Runnels Project Title: The Answer Label: Independent Producers: Jason Runnels and Mike Welch
Jason Runnels is a name known in Southern Gospel Music as a former member of Tony Gore and Majesty and the Down East Boys. These days, Jason is traveling as a soloist and has recorded three projects. The latest project is titled "The Answer" and it is a collection of ten songs that you will enjoy.
The project begins with a familiar song and one my all time favorite songs. The song is "Sail On" and I have loved this song since I first heard the Imperials sing it. Jason does a good job singing the song and I always love to hear that great old song again. The next song is a beautiful ballad titled "When God Unfolds The Rose." The message of the song is as beautiful as the melody is as it reminds us in a very unique way that God is always in control of every situation and God will do everything in His time. Another old song is next as Jason sings "If We Never Meet Again." I have always enjoyed that song and the message of it.
"Daystar" is one of those songs that nearly every Gospel Music artist has recorded at one time or another. Jason's version is a good one and, of course, this song is one of the great prayers set to music. "Smile On Your Face" is a song that I remember the Down East Boys singing. I always enjoyed the message of the song that we as Christians wear a smile on our face that is usually quite easily detectible for another Christian! "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" is, of course, a popular song from Christian Contemporary Music and Chris Tomlin. The message is a good one as it reminds us that Jesus did take away the chains of sins in our lives. Jason sings a lively version of one of the great church hymns next as he tackles "Just A Closer Walk." A great performance on a great song.
The next song on the project is a very familiar song in the past few years of Southern Gospel Music. It was made popular by the Crabb Family and remains a favorite of many so you will without a doubt enjoy Jason's version of "Through The Fire." Next on the project we find "Answer For The Lost." I absolutely love the message of this song as it reminds us that we, as Christians, have an answer for the lost and that answer is Jesus Christ. Jason's final song on the project is another familiar one as he sings the patriotic song, "God Bless The USA." It is a great job on that old standard and a wonderful way to end this project.
Jason has been singing a while and his solo ministry is going well. This project does a nice job of showcasing his vocal abilities and has several songs that you will likely know. Jason performs all of the songs well and there is no doubt that you will enjoy listening to it and be blessed by it. My favorite songs from the project are "Answer For The Lost," "Through The Fire" and "Sail On." The entire project is very good and this project should make people take notice of Jason's abilities and his ministry. You will be blessed by it and enjoy it for many years to come.
