BETWEEN THE DREAMING AND THE COMING TRUE - BEBO NORMAN
Hope and turmoil are two very different forces, yet they beautifully co-exist and poignantly intertwine on this stunning collection of songs. Norman, with co-producer/co-writer Jason Ingram, has crafted an album that explores hope and heartache. He sings of peace and comfort on the gorgeous string-laden ballad “I Know Now,” yet he’s not afraid to write about the turbulent road and trials encountered on the way. Musically, Norman takes it up several notches on his fifth studio set, venturing away from his signature acoustic sound to deliver a sonic feast replete with strings and horns. The highlights are many, among them “Be My Covering,” “Sunday” and “Now That You’re Gone.” In a warm and strong voice, Norman admits life ain’t easy, but listening to this album will make you feel better about the journey.
