I have stated a good number of times that Kirk Talley is one of my favorite singers.  I first heard Kirk over 25 years ago when he had just joined the Cathedrals.  His music was great then and it has continued to be exceptional over the years.  The songs have changed but the message never has!  His latest solo effort is another good one in a long line of quality projects.

"Beyond Words" is the title of the project and the opening song.  I enjoy this song because it reminds us that the description of God is so far beyond words.  It reminds us that no matter how hard we try, we can never explain the greatness of God.  "Oh How Excellent" is a slow melody that reminds me a little bit in style of "He Is Here."  The song celebrates the excellence and power of our God.  The tempo picks up again with "Nothing Shall Separate Me From The Love Of God."  It reminds us that no matter what, nothing can separate us from God's Love!  What a great message and thought in that great song co-written by Kirk and John Rowsey.  "Scarlet Ribbon Of Redemption" is a wonderfully crafted song that reminds that God's Blood covers all of our sins.

Kirk Talley and Rodney Griffin team up on "Keep Puttin' One Foot In Front Of The Other" and I simply love everything about this song.  It reminds us to keep walking along and keep doing what the Lord says to do and this song says it with a catchy tune!  The next song reminds us of the power and the strength of God's Love.  The title is "Love Is Strong" and this upbeat song will bless you as you think of the power of God's Love in your life.  "Garden Of Grace" is a song that I am certain that Kirk has recorded before.  However, I cannot find where I have it!  Anyway, this song about growing in God's Garden of Grace is a great song from Kirk's pen.

If you know anything about the Talley family at all you know that Kirk has some pretty talented relatives!  He enlists the help of his niece, Lauren Talley, on the next song and the result is a duet on "Faithful" by Kirk and Lauren that is awesome.  The song talks about how faithful God is to us and the blend of the two voices, well, you need to hear it for yourself!  "I'm Glad" is written by Kirk and Daryl Williams.  The resulting effort is an up tempo song that celebrates many things that God does for us that we are glad about.  "When His Presence Fill This Place" is an outstanding song with a powerful message.  The song reminds us of the effect that God can have when He comes on the scene.  The final song on the project is a song written by Kirk and Phil Cross and this one I know I remember.  In fact, "He Won't Take Back One Promise" was on a Talley's (Kirk, Debra and Roger) live project from 1992 titled "A Night To Remember."  The song is an awesome, upbeat proclamation that God will not take back one promise that He has given to us.  I loved the song in 1992 and I still love it!

As I said in the beginning of this review, Kirk Talley is one of my favorite singers.  Kirk has a quality and style that is different from anyone else I have ever heard sing Gospel Music.  I mean that in a good way!  This project captures Kirk at his best as he sings some news songs and some older songs.  Wayne Haun produced this project and he is one of the best in the business at the moment and the production quality of Kirk's project helps it to shine even more.  My favorite songs from this project are "Keep Puttin' One Foot In Front Of The Other," "Garden Of Grace" and "He Won't Take Back One Promise."  I also really enjoyed the duet by Kirk and Lauren on "Faithful."  The entire project is very good and I would recommend getting a copy of this project so you too can be blessed by the great music on it!  For more information on Kirk Talley, visit his website at www.kirktalley.com.
