\"Album<\/p>\n

Simple.<\/p>\n

Honest.<\/p>\n

Pure.<\/p>\n

Truly all you need to worship is a voice and a guitar. A voice to carry the melody and a guitar to support the chords played that support the melody. With simple honesty, Ray Nugent<\/strong> pours his heart from a humble vessel that overflows with purity. Meandering through a stream of intimate melodic prayers, songs form and inspire a deeper relationship with God in Some Worship<\/em> EP.<\/p>\n

The EP begins with simple strumming on “Holding On.” With a voice that is similar to an old folk singers style, Ray Nugent’s voice is rife with passion and emotion. “Deeper” explores the yearnings of going into a deeper relationship with God. Beautifully sung, intimately expressed with just a guitar and voice, it’s excellent. “You Are” is easily to be sung along with and could potentially be incorporated into a worship service. This is the gem and highlight on Some Worship.<\/em> Ray Nugent ends out the ep with “Greater Measure.” This last song compares God’s glory to the love of God. When a Christian stops to pause and think about how the two are intwined and inseparable, it’s a bit overwhelming. This is an outstanding EP worth many listens.<\/p>\n

Like many artists who write songs, Ray Nugent is largely obscure on the internet. This is not a terrible thing, and also reminds us that it’s not about us, but ultimately about God. Some Worship<\/em> was produced by Dewey Rogge.<\/p>\n
