“A brilliant release that leans heavily on how weary we can find ourselves, but hope still shines through in the midst of our deepest darkness. All but one song is penned by Michael Knott (LSU, Aunt Betty’s, Lifesavers). It starts off strong with the first 3 tracks driven by guitars, drums, bass and piano. “On My Feet Again” is sung by Terry Scott Taylor of Daniel Amos with a nod to Spandau Ballet’s “True” with the way the “high high high high” chorus part is executed. One of the many highlights is “Window” performed by Gene Eugene from Adam Again. Although written by Knott, it can easily mingle with some of the high points on Homeboys, Dig or Perfecta, musically and lyrically. Gene Eugene is soulful with not just vocals but in his piano playing as well. “River Of Love” is pure, unadulterated brilliance sung by Knott and carries a sense of frustration (“sick of empty banks, tanks and pockets”) mixed with worshipful longing (“pour me a bucket from your river of love”). Again, Eugene’s piano playing is sublime and Knott has rarely sounded so convincingly vulnerable as he does here. This release feels like a necessary companion to the Brow Beat releases featuring much of the same cast. Alternative Worship is one of those releases worthy of repeated spins because the music moves you deeply and it always seems to find a way to feed the soul. That is a rare find. If you are a fan of the music of Michael Knott, Terry Scott Taylor or Gene Eugene this is essential. Remastered by Rob Colwell and comes packaged in a 6-panel wallet with lyrics. CD limited to just 300 copies.” -Retroactive Records
