Andrew Peter­son is about to release his lat­est album, Count­ing Stars, and I can’t wait. I got to lis­ten to the sin­gle he’s already released titled The Reck­on­ing. It’s so, so good. If the rest of the album is any­thing like that song, it promises to be one of my favorite albums.

I have some friends who tell me that Andrew’s music is at best a required taste, but his stuff has been one of my favorite musi­cal finds in recent years. I con­sider him to be one of the best song­writ­ers I know. This song is a great exam­ple of why I love his writ­ings; he takes what he sees of God in nature, in peo­ple, and the cry of the earth, mixes it with his heart, poetry and music, and out comes not just a song, but a piece of the Story.
