Everybody Must Get Stonehilled, Part II

Greetings,

Say, Audiori, it just turned October, so where's the new Stonehill album? Any news, being that you're da man with the inside scoop?

Thank you,
Jim

here is some info for you....

Randy Stonehill is one of those rare performers whose recordings have topped radio charts (Hand Of God, I Turn To You, In Jesus Name, a duet with Michael W. Smith), been nominated for a Grammy (I Could Never Say Goodbye, a duet with Amy Grant), been on the cover of CCM, been credited with having the greatest influence on the emerging contemporary Christian music scene (with the record Welcome To Paradise), and still continues to write, record and perform songs about his living relationship with the King Of Hearts.

With Edge Of The World, Randy’s first CD for Fair Oaks Records, he once again teams up with friend Phil Keaggy for a duet on the song That’s The Way It Goes. He is joined by new friend (and long-time fan) Sara Groves on two songs (Take Me Back, Hey Pauline). Perhaps the most memorable performance will be the “remember when” song Randy wrote about the 70’s Jesus Music scene. He is joined by a veritable All-Star lineup who were there for it all, including old friends Larry Norman, Phil Keaggy, Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul & Mary), Barry McGuire, Russ Taff and Annie Herring.

Edge Of The World is classic Stonehill poetry in song, full of radio-friendly songs, and with Randy’s heavy concert schedule is certain to be a top seller.

Song List:

We Were All So Young (with Larry Norman, Phil Keaggy, Noel Paul Stookey (of Peter, Paul & Mary), Barry McGuire, Russ Taff and Annie Herring)
Take Me Back (duet with Sara Groves)
That’s The Way It Goes (duet with Phil Keaggy)
Hey, Pauline (duet with Sara Groves)
Edge Of The World
Janie
Far, Far
Last Song For Michael
Dare To Believe
Prisoner Of Hope
All I Know

Produced by Bob Kilpatrick & Randy Stonehill.

Hey BD, that's great info, thanks. what I really want to know this is where I can order it? Any clues, anybody?

Posted by Mark on 10-01-2002 at19:09:

We want to know.

Posted by Jim Muglia on 10-01-2002 at21:22:

Here's a snippet form CCM magazine:

"...Randy Stonehill's upcoming project Edge of the World on Fair Oaks Records. The project will be available beginning on October 22..."

Maybe it will actually be in the stores? That would be great. I'd rather order an advance copy on the web, though.

Marty, you are a great man indeed!!! Just ordered my copy; I'm figuring if Oct. 22 is the date they expect to get it in stock, then maybe I'll have it by the month's end. Wow, I'm excited. I'll let everyone know how it is when I get it.

Patti likes Stonehill.
I never got into him.

Posted by Joey T. on 10-09-2002 at16:43:

I liked him up until that Wild Frontier album. Trying to copy Springsteen, that's just creepy... Shocked

Posted by brdhsnyrsoul on 10-09-2002 at16:45:

he did have a pretty bad middle years. his new stuff has been good though. Thirst was an excellent CD. I love the old stuff.

I am not much of a Springsteen fan, but I am tempted to buy the new one, the "notebook" version.

Posted by Joey T. on 10-09-2002 at16:46:

I kind of want to get that kids album that Terry also worked on, Uncle Stonehill's hat. My son would probably like that one... Pleased

With the new LOst Dogs and Derri stuff it's pretty tough.
Johnny Cash has a new one out soon as well.

some time I need to get Bibleland, Motorcyle & Kalhoun on CD Big Grin

I still may get the first DA on LP.

I don't give a hoot what anyone says; one day God said "I'm going to make the best Christian singer/songwriter ever", and made Randy Stonehill. Plain and simple.

Regarding The Wild Frontier, its loud, a little obnoxious at parts, a little much of a blatant imitation of Springsteen-mania; HOWEVER, it works, becasue...

the songs are just plain "good", which nobody can take away from that album. You take that album song by song and its one of the most solid things he's put out. Stuff like "Words on the Wind", "What's My Line?", "What Do you Want From Life?", the title track, and "Hope of Glory". I agree listening to the whole thing can be much since there's so much energy; but at the same time, song by song its good.

Alright, "Here Comes the Big Guitars" isn't exactly great; but at least the riff is somewhat cool.

Just my opinion.

Uncle Stonehill's Hat

"Uncle Stonehill's Hat" is like 2 elements in one: one part is good kids songs and an interesting story-line for kids; another elemnt is Randy and Terry goofing around trying to make eachother laugh, like the song "My Destiny", which is a little over-the-top for a children's album. The album has its good merits; but it seems like it can't decide if it wanted to be an all-out kids album, or an all-out goof-off fest. Its kind of like a Mel Brooks take on a children's album.

Bottom line is, pick it up, especially if you have kids. They'll like some of it just as much as an adult does, much in the way some kids miss the jokes in cartoons that adults get. It'll put a smile on everyone's face one way or the other. Big Grin

Plus once again, the songs are just plain good, becuase they're Randy Stonehill songs. He couldn't write a lousy song if he tried. When all is said and done, some of the songs are pretty darn neat, for kids and adults. Even a new version of Shut De Do.

Take 'er easy,
Jim
