Simple Things in Life
Addison Baker & Friends
“Free / so free / feel the wind beneath your wings / your heart can beat
again”
With his fourth full-length album, Simple Things in Life, Addison Baker
has infused an eclectic feel into soaring gospel lyrics and creates a
musical atmosphere you won’t soon forget.
Addison combines several different genres, ranging from jazz to gospel
to country, with a sprinkling of soul thrown in just for good measure. This
hodge podge creates a surprisingly seamless collection of songs that’s
both complex and fun. “Free” is an exceptional example of this, as it
displays an instrumental style that isn’t easily described and lyrics that
make the heart soar.
Each song emphasizes hope, love, and God’s grace and sends the
listener on a mental journey to a higher place. As worship lyrics, these
songs deliver. If you’re looking for a great album that makes you feel like
you’ve just been to church, Simple Things in Life is for you!
