Customer Reviews

Beautiful, Anointed Worship
Although Matt Redman is a great song writer and musician, his true anointing is as a worshipper. This excellent live recording allows us a glimpse of Matt's sensitivity to the Spirit's leading in worship, without ever compromising production quality.

Producer Nathan Nockels has given the whole project an inspired sound. On several tracks, strings have been overdubbed for a brilliant blending of live and studio elements. And, in a particularly moving moment, the recording of "The Father's Song" captures Matt's intimately whispered praises to his Father God. Throughout the whole CD, the crowd noise is kept to a minimum.

This is an excellent "Best Of" that preserves the familiarity of the original songs while adding enough newness to make them fresh. I am truly moved to worship by this CD, and believe you will be, too.

The CD is enhanced with a couple of nice extras. The first is the memorable video recording of Matt's performance of "Heart of Worship" at the Atlanta Facedown Songwriter's Conference. The second is an interview with Matt, where he talks about several of the songs on the CD. It's a nice feature, but seems a little scripted to me.

If you like this CD (or love live worship recordings in general), be sure to check out Matt's Facedown CD and DVD, which were recorded at the same songwriter's conference as Blessed Be Your Name Vol. 1. The Facedown recordings are exceptionally Spirit filled!

A Great Live Worship Album
I like a lot of worship leaders out there, Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, David Crowder to name a few. However, I have come to love Matt Redman, and he is by far my favorite worship leader out there. Every album that he has put out is stellar, and Blessed Be Your Name is spectacular for a live event. The vocals are easy to hear and understand, while on other live albums they sometimes seem outdone by the crowd noise or too much bass. In some cases where the vocals are outstanding, the music is subdued. Not here. Each instrument is elegantly showcased. Standout tracks on this disk would have to be the title track, "Holy Moment", "Undignified", "Facedown", and my favorite Redman track of all time, "Better is One Day". If you like live music and worship music, this album is for you.

Praise experience
This CD has many of the praise songs that are both familiar and appreciated. A good listening experiece to take you into another realm. Definately recommended.
