Shawn McDonald's "The Analog Sessions" now available, and the reviews are in!
The Analog Sessions has finally arrived! This week is the anticipated release of Shawn McDonald's special song collection - nine re-recorded raw analog-recorded live-to-tape fan favorites. With the addition of two brand new songs, The Analog Sessions is a great way to celebrate the ten-year mark of McDonald's musical career.
Great reviews and fan feedback have been pouring in about The Analog Sessions, showing that this singer/songwriter/storyteller has quite the following from media and fans alike. With fans sharing that the album is "creative and so good!" and "amazing and a must have!" along with coverage with Worship Leader and much more, here are a few more media highlights:
"McDonald has always been unflinchingly honest and straightforward - an approach that works particularly well with the pared-back performance and production aesthetic of his latest release." - Jesusfreakhideout.com
"...With new imaginings of the tracks, it's a lot of fun to hear the creative ways he's made them new. The whole analog feel is truly unique in our digital age, and it's a welcomed treat hearing the warmth and glow that comes off a song played in one take....It's just the listener alone with Shawn McDonald's powerful words, and it reawakens a love of music, but also points to a great love of God in the process." - HollywoodJesus.com
"It doesn't get more raw than this, it doesn't get any more original than this. The Analog Sessions is indeed an album that defies the norm of the Contemporary Christian music. The sound on this old-school, analog recording is quite different from anything else McDonald has recorded thus far, not to mention one of the most determined." - TheUndergroundsite.com
"From beginning to end, this is one you'll want to enjoy again and again."
- Christian Music Review
"This is the Shawn McDonald we have come to know and love..Sit back, get comfortable, and take in a classic McDonald album." - posted on Amazon
