专辑简介
Ron Block是蓝草天后Alison Krauss乐队的吉他手，也是一位非常杰出的蓝草音乐家，这张2001年发行的专辑就是一张以蓝草和乡村风格为主的专辑。
Ron Block's "Faraway Land" is one of the best and most meaningful albums that I have ever had the privilege of listening to. It reminds me very much of the lyric style of the late Rich Mullins. You cannot just listen to this album. This is an album with meanings that need to be studied and discussed.
"Faraway Land" is my favorite song from the album. From the awesome instrumental opening and softness of Ron's vocals to the deep meaning of the lyrics, this is a song that just can't be beat.
"He's Holding On To Me" is a beautiful bluegrass tune that really comforts me the more I listen to it. In these troubled times we live in, sometimes we lose sight of what is important in life. We forget that when things get really bad, we are not alone. Jesus and God are with us.
"Searching" is a song that Ron wrote after seeing the movie The Matrix. The song is about what is real and not real. What is permanent and what is not. How we really have two worlds - the one we live in that will end someday and the kingdom of heaven that will never end. "Reality is only an illusion of solidity and permanence. The hidden eternal world,
which we think of as illusory and unreal is in fact the only solid ground." - Ron Block
"Is It Any Wonder" is a song that reminds me of the old saying never turn anyone away who is in need of help because it just might be Jesus in disguise.
"Higher Than Man" is a song about not judging people. "Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged" and "Let He Who Is Without Sin Cast The First Stone." The Bible tells us.
"In The Morning Light" features the awesome mandolin playing of newbie Chris Thile from Nickel Creek. It is an upbeat tune that makes your feet want to start dancing.
"Donal's Lullaby" is one of the best songs on the album. As I'm not a parent yet I thought I would let Ron tell about what inspired this song. "Being a father is one of the best and hardest things I've ever done. There is immense love, heavy responsibility, and a combination of joy and sorrow in watching them grow up. Written for my son, Ethan Donal." - Ron Block
