My Guardian  

Says it all really.  Stu's contribution to all this isn't obvious, but maybe I haven't listened to enough of him, only the quite powerful and quick yah-ta-ta, yah-ta-ta 6/8 rhythm of stuff like Men of Faith and Sing to the Lord.  This is heartfelt, moderately powerful stuff, good for ministry perhaps, but I can't see it becoming cong fare - although I could be proved very very wrong.  I usually am.  It states its case quickly and simply without overkill repetitive choruses (see the 14th) - so it's pretty good in my book.   I am puzzled with the americanised spelling of "color" though - OK, he's Canadian, but he lives in the UK pretty permanently now?  A minor niggle - the guy is very talented.
