Congrats to Michelle Sutton. Email me your address, Michelle, and the publicist will send the CD to you!
Throughout his seventeen-year discography, singer-songwriter Bebo Norman has been applauded for laying it all on the table. Lyrically transparent and musically vulnerable, Norman’s music provides a common ground for the songwriter and the listener to collaborate in a discourse on life’s curious details, and how those day-to-day unknowns play in the greater mystery of faith.
Lights of Distant Cities released in October. Bebo has sold over 660,000 albums and continues to stretch the musical arrangements to his often worshipful melodies. "You can't understand light unless you understand darkness, because that's where life is most often lived - somewhere between the two. It's messy and it's beautiful all at the same time," says Bebo Norman.
Here is Bebo Norman talking briefly about the story behind one of the songs on this album, The Broken, followed in the second video by that song and the lyrics.

MY THOUGHTS
Bebo Norman's authenticity about his spiritual walk has resulted in another great album. While you can certainly enjoy casually listening to this CD, the powerful lyrics will beg you to pause and consider the message they proclaim. I especially like the third track, At the End of Me. Oh, and the final one, Go With You, which is a beautiful love song to his wife! Musically, I always enjoy Bebo Norman's voice, and there are some amazing harmonic blends on this album. You'll want to add this to your musical library!

I absolutely adore Bebo Norman. In fact, I have his CD and I've sung "Give Me Your Eyes" and used it as a ringback tone for a long time. Anyway, I don't have this CD and would love it.
