In
the vain of Judy Mowatt, she sings
with deep conviction and sincerity
about the power and need of prayer.
The backing vocals (the Jewels),
instrumentation and production are all
top-notch with "Pray A Prayer For
Me" and it's outstanding
dub-style version which adds further
emphasis to the strong exhortation.
Great musicianship is a highlight.
Each track is around nearly six
minutes of pure joy and encouragement
for the soul. Fans of the I-Three will
love the Jewels shining vocals and the
rootical version reminscent of classic
late 70's to early 80's reggae.
The other tracks on this single
include a medley of the contemporary
Pete Sanchez worship classic, "We
Exalt Thee" and a Morris original
titled "Lord I'll Exalt
Thee" and a pure instrumental
version, ideal for meditation or
singing. This time around, it's
rendered in a heartfelt gospel style
including bluesy guitar licks, piano
and a heart-warming organ. With
"We Exalt Thee"/"Lord
I'll Exalt Thee", you get over
seven minutes of music that will draw
you into humbleness and worship. The
arrangement somehow blends old-time
gospel with the fresh new sounds of
today.
The
instrumental is deeply touching by
itself to the listener who opens up
his/her heart to worship, to lifting
up the name of Jesus purely and truly.
One thing is clear- Kay Morris is not
just a singer, but a minister of
music. She effectively uses the word
and joyful sounds to glorify God
Almighty and lead the listener into
that quiet place where the heart is
still before the Everlasting Father.
For some deeply blessed reggae and
gospel, get yourself a copy of
"Pray A Prayer For Me"
today.
