The Bellamy Brothers Jesus Is Coming

    Jesus is Coming is a collection of  13 new gospel that are done in the true Bellamy style! But don't let the Christian genre full you; some of the songs seem like saw dust boot scooters. The album is full of subtle humor.  For example "Drug Problem" is about being drug around as a boy to church and family events.  If only this was the worst of our drug problems today.  "Lord Help Me Be the Kind of Person My Dog Thinks I Am" is about just that.  Dogs have such unconditional love for anyone that will love them and feed them.  Their title track has a great message but is also not without humor, "Jesus is coming, and boy is he pissed."
   Despite the humor, the Bellamy Brothers have obviously drawn on their own lives in order to reach in and touch the lives of others singing songs from being "Spiritually Bankrupt" not knowing where to turn to being on the "Wings of the Wind" where Christ will carry us home.
     The album also includes a few new versions of old hits.  There's a new version of "Old Hippie" as well as "Let Your Love Flow, and a reggae version of "I'll Fly Away".
    Jesus is Coming should be easily loved by both Country and Gospel music fans.  Honestly, even if you are not a fan of either but are merely seeking a meaning in life, I would strongly recomend this one.  With such a broad variety of style and so many great messages, there's bound to be something here to lift your soul.  Jesus Is Coming to a store near you soon.
