S & T The Best of Scarecrow and Tinmen [CD] - This must-have album brings to a single disc the best and most popular tracks - personally selected by front man Chris Padgett and guitarist Brad DeRosia - from the first four Scarecrow & Tinmen albums. Many songs will be familiar to those who've experienced their amazing, hyperactive live shows, including "God Is Good," with its now-legendary call and response, and "Big Mouth," with its invitation to "Jump! Jump! Jump!" Thick with electric and acoustic guitar, synthesizer, loops, programming and samples, S&T builds on the unique, quirky "techno-folk" sound they introduced on their earlier discs. Famous for their high-energy pop, rock and hip-hop, they can also slow it down. "You Are My Son" and "Come and See" both employ a warm, acoustic sound and measured pace, Chris' straight-talking lyrics expressing awe for the love and forgiveness Christ freely gives us.They have an almost incredible knack for presenting serious theological concepts in a way the average person "gets." Often, that involves humor. "Big Mouth" opens with Chris shouting, "You got a big fat mouth!" You laugh, then find yourself caught up in the gripping rhythms, muscular guitar and fierce rap. Then, listening more carefully, you realize it's all about the dangers of a loose tongue, echoing warnings in the Letter of James. Who else but the ingenious and zany men of Scarecrow & Tinmen could create such an irresistible combination of fun, humor and spiritual depth? S&T is a great opportunity to discover what their legions of loyal fans already know.
