CD Review: Charlie Hall, The Bright Sadness

Do you remember the last CD you bought – a whole CD – and you listened to every song, all the way through and not once did you skip a song, then when it was over – you immediately played it again?

I’ll give you a few minutes.

It’s been a while for me too. Then I got Charlie Hall’s latest CD, The Bright Sadness. First, I won it compliments of the Christian Manifesto. (I would have bought it anyway.)

If you were a fan of Flying Into Daybreak, you’re going to love this album. Charlie picks up where he left off with this album. Lyrically – this one is stronger and that is saying something.

When I was a youth pastor in Emporia, I actually got to meet Charlie. He is a friend of a friend, did a concert and hung out for a day or two. What impressed me then was he talked and related to people as a pastor, not a performer.

If you go to his website, he puts up the chord charts and words to all his music. I don’t know anyone else that does that. He has from the beginning. He leads worship at his home church in Oklahoma when he can.

Go to iTunes right now and get it.

    I completely agree! Charlie is awesome! We actually attended Bridgeway, the church he led worship at in OKC, while we lived there. To me, he is such a gifted songwriter – amazing songs all around.
