The Fall of 1997 and Smalltown Poets
You were able to sit down and listen to a CD set aside for a demo before buying it in Christian book/music stores. I remember purchasing this CD not long after it came out. I liked what I heard and took a chance on it, needless to say it became one of my favorite Christian CDs. I played this album to death during the fall of 1997 when I was going through some really hard times with my family, it was such a comforting record to listen to. I decided to take a vacation that October up in San Luis Obispo to go visit a high school friend and get away from it all. I took this CD with me and the music blended perfectly with the feel of autumn up in the central coast. It really got me focused on God while I was up there. I can't listen to this CD without remembering how I felt there, the smell of the air, the brown leaves on the trees, the rolling hills. This was beautiful music and it was a beautiful place to be. This CD just may get you through the darkest hours like it did me. Their first and best album. Oh, one more thing, these guys used to be called Villanelle in 1995 and released an album called "Pinwheels and Orangepeels. " Great album as well! .


Awesome
I love their music. Smalltown Poets is one of the most underrated bands in the Christian/Pop Genre. This album starts off strong with "Prophet, Priest, and King" and keeps on going from there. There are a couple of filler songs on this album but overall it is great. This cd comes with some great bonus features that you can access by putting it into your computer. If you like this album check out Big Tent Revival's album "Amplifier. ".


This is how good pop/rock should sound.
This debut CD proves that fact without any doubts. Smalltown Poets are a good pop/rock band. If you like good melodies, energetic instruments, and sing-a-long lyrics, then you will absolutely love this CD.

It is good to encounter yet another band unashamed of their faith in God. They are willing to stand up for their devotion to Jesus in public. The song "Prophet, Priest, and King" is a witty introduction on this CD that helps foster the importance of our relationship with God. The remaining 10 songs carry similar themes that help shape our thoughts and redirect them back to God.

This is also an enhanced CD. There are a couple of videos you can watch on your computer. I was impressed with them too. Much like the band itself, none of the videos are fancy. It is this stripped-down and honest approach that helps set a "we are for real" atmosphere that makes you want to trust these guys. In the videos, it is fun watching the band on stage or behind the scenes as they travel and prepare for concerts.

This is really a fun CD from start to finish. Enjoy!.


Amazing!!
It sends out a great message, and has a variety of sounds on it- this is by far one of the best Contemporary Christian Bands out there!. This album was amazing! It had a whole lot of really great songs!! I love to listen to this CD! It has some of the most inspirational songs out there, with a good beat.


A Few Great Songs on a Good CD
The sounds are diverse all the way through. This is a great CD to listen to all the way through. The lyrics deserve 5 stars all the way through. They are full of life experience, and passion. My favorite songs are "Prophet, Priest and King", "If You'll Let Me Love You", and "Trust". Unfortunately my least favorite song "Monkey's Paw" would really make a great poem. The lyrics are great, but I believe the music leaves something to be desired. If you like Jars of Clay, or Jennifer Knapp, you'll probably like these guys. Give them a shot, listen to it all the way through first.
