Customer Reviews

A Real Treasure
"Beautiful People" is a real treasure. This is the kind of Christian music I always hoped someone would produce. It is spiritual music that actually meets us at our humanness. Too often Christian music can have an almost shallow feel to it because it seems to be distant from life's ups and downs over the long haul. Not "Beautiful People". It is deeply spiritual, while at the same time being very human.

Nor does "Beautiful People" have that all too common "Christian music" sound, (either cookie cutter commercial or copy cat rock). "Beautiful People" is musically interesting and a pleasure to listen to in its own right.

"Beautiful People" is not music one chooses to listen to just because it is Christian. It is music one chooses to listen to because it is great music and music that touches real places in our lives. Many of the songs would even appeal to those with no interest in Christian music. It is simply that good.

The only thing I did not care for on the CD were the comments and personal praying after "Never Alone Martin". The song itself is excellent, but the comments and prayer afterward, although heartfelt, and I'm sure appropriate in the right place, were, for me, distracting to the overall power and artistic elegance of the CD. I'm sure some though, will find this a very powerful and appropriate ending to the song. For those who may not, I would not let this minor point dissuade you from getting the CD. As a whole, it is superb.

not your average worship music
This is a compilation of some of the best songs written by Jason. The spirit flows through him, bur it's not about him. His songs are insightful, emotional, humorous and take a hard look at "religiousity", see his web-site at jasonupton.com and listen to the "Lullaby for the Petrified Sacred Society" and you will see what I mean. It's on the Beautiful People DVD. Check out also "hailey's song" on Between the earth and sky. A great down to earth group of musicians. Listen well.

Excellent!
I love this CD. It is in great condition and it is one of Jason Upton's best CDs to date. Thanks so much!
Blessings,
