"Tree 63 constantly amazes me on the quality of music that they produce.
God is working through them to deliver his message to the world. The music is beyond good and the lyrics will have you shouting and then crying. They will cut you to the bone.
Jesus Christ is being praised by this wonderful music.
Buy this CD and then buy all their other CD's.
God bless you Tree 63 !!!!!!!!"
In a perfect world these guys would be the Beatles

"The Newsboys would be the Stones. And the Stones wouldn't exist.
I've heard it said that Tree 63 sounds like U2. I don't know, I've never heard U2.
My "formative years" were the sixties and early seventies. So I heard the Beatles and the Stones. By the time U2 came around (I had to look them up in Wikipedia) I was only interested in a few rock groups, and U2 wasn't one of them.
I started listening to jazz, mostly jazz fusion, Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea and Pat Matheny and Weather Report. Especially Weather Report.
In the mid-eighties I was saved by faith in Christ and started listening to Glad and a few other Christian artists. Mostly Glad. Still like 'em a lot.
This explains why I know about the Beatles and the Stones and not U2. However if U2 has this kind of sound, well, it's a great sound. But Tree 63 has the lyrics, too.
What makes this a great CD is that every tune is good. There is no filler here. It's hard for me to even single out songs, because it's all good. I would rather hear this CD played 24/7 than wait for the occasional good song played on Christian rock radio.
How can Christian rock stations only play "Sunday" from this CD and that's about it? They will say they need to give time to other Christian artists. But most of what I hear on Christian rock-radio is mediocrity.
I suspect Tree 63's hard-rock style is politically incorrect, even in the Christian rock-radio format. I don't get that. I've heard it said that people leave Tree 63 concerts after they play "Blessed Be the Name." These must be the same people responsible for the programming on Christian rock radio.
Sunday is coming. Buy this CD, people. It is outstanding."
