I’ll be straight up and admit that Bryn is one of my favourite artists period. Unfortunately we had almost no exposure to him in Canada until his The Gap album. While huge in the U.K. American record companies didn’t think his appeal would spread to our side of the ocean. This is one of the greatest tragedies of the CCM industry as Bryn deserved as wide an audience as possible. I didn’t even get to hear most of his work until we undertook this project but now I get to enjoy all his albums. Every one of Bryn’s album has a track that stands out to me personally. This album it is “Were You There” which showcases his slide guitar technique which is one of the best in the industry in my opinion. While actually a traditional this particular arrangement is probably the best treatment this song ever got. Many artists of Bryn’s skill level have kind of abandoned Christian music but not Bryn. His faith is still the center of his music.
