Myself When I Am Real

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Bebo Norman, one of Christian music's brightest songwriting talents, shows no signs of slowing down with Myself When I Am Real. Norman once again teams with writing partner-producer Ed Cash for another folk-tinged collection of essays on love, loss, and the need for spiritual companionship. Certainly, the opening "Our Mystery," "Falling Down," and "Everything" add melodic electricity to the release, but more of Myself lies in the quieter, ambient tracks like "Beautiful You," "Just to Look at You," and the transcendent "Great Light of the World." Not to be overlooked is Norman's superb "Long Way Home," a strongly moving ode to commitment in a sometimes stormy yet loving relationship. While the trend toward softer pieces is more in line with Norman's Ten Thousand Days debut, he's clearly maturing in songwriting efficiency and lyrical deftness, while examining matters of heart and soul. There's little doubt that Myself will garner good sales, yet Norman's talent deserves a larger audience. --Michael Lyttle

Another great CD.......2005-01-12

This is an another awesome CD from Bebo. He is on a roll! I love his other CDs too. The lyrics are pretty deep and filled with emotion. I can really praise the Lord to Bebo's music.

best of bebo.......2004-06-23

this is one of the top 100 cds in my book. that is a big deal too. bebo is an amazing vocalist and he has lyrics that will always keep you interested or singing right along.

a "real" review.......2003-09-29

I loved this CD. I love all the songs, whether they relate to God or to love/life. Bebo has a wonderful voice and is a rare talent. These songs have yes, spiritual depth, but I find that the reason I keep putting it in my CD player is that I can relate to the songs, and I just love to sing along! Bebo's hit the nail on the head yet another time! In other words, Bebo's "Myself when I am Real" is a great buy.

Not like the 1st two.......2003-05-01

The 1st two albums by Bebo Norman were gems. Ever since he has linked up with Ed Cash - it is like muzak to me. No deep strings and pulls on the heart strings. I am a great fan of the 1st two albums - "Ten Thousand Days" and "Fabric of Verse."
