RAISE YOUR HANDS! FOR SAM BUTLER

His CD doesn’t drop until Friday, October 16 but early reviews point toward a winner for Sam Butler (no surprise to us!). Here’s what some critics are writing about RAISE YOUR HANDS!:

Not Your Father’s Gospel Album: Gospel music has never made it onto my list of favorite genres, so when I read that this album consisted of spirituals, I expected to be tossing it into the reject pile after a perfunctory listen. In fact, Raise Your Hands! riveted my attention from first track to last and is now in heavy rotation around my house. Jeff Burger (No Depression | ByJeffBurger.com)

Listen and Believe:  . . . what is so mesmerizing about Butler’s new release is its unflinching attack on modern songs, and the way he handles mixing gospel, rhythm & blues and rock into one boiling attack. Bill Bentley, Bentley’s Bandstand
