"The 1990s seems filled with bands that are either carbon copys of other bands and devoid of talent or worse, bands that may have talent but devoid of any meaning. If you look long and hard enough, you find "Prayer Chain." Hailing from California, this band will go down as the most talented "unknown' band of the decade. The six-song "Whirlpool" is an excellent cd for the beginner, or fans who want to get a hold of some of their best tunes. Really its a preview of their even more brilliant follow up albums, "Shawl" and "Mercury." The only reason it is give four stars is that its not long enough. However, it definitely gives you bang fo the buck, so to speak. "Shine" and "Mercy" are both very catchy, and frontman Tim Taber's voice seems so passionate and haunting in 'I Believe" that the listener will scratch his head and wonder why this band isn't bigger than it is. Other highlights include the guitar-ladden "Follow Me", and the simple, but beautiful, acoustic closer; "Whirlpool." What makes this band so special is they attack faith and relationship issues with such sincerity and clarity. They tell the listern how they really FEEL about issues, unlike a lot talentless bands of today. Their lyrical honesty along with their musical talent makes them a special treasure only known to a handful of music fans. I pray they become better known to the rest of the world."

AMAZING!

"For those who would like a mixture of the Doors and Pearl Jam you have found it in The Prayer Chain. All of their albums are different - drastically different - but are all awesome in their own. I stongly recomend any of these albums to the Christian alternative lover out there. JRW"
