Recorded in Austin, Texas, during the fall of 2005, this live outing finds the popular Christian rocker Chris Tomlin performing on his home turf to a rapt audience. Alternating between playing acoustic guitar and piano, Tomlin is backed only by bass and drums, resulting in a spare sound that calls attention to his plaintive vocals and worship-minded lyrics. Most of the songs here (including the gentle "Indescribable" and the uplifting "How Great Is Our God") originally appeared on Tomlin's 2004 hit record, ARRIVING, making this an excellent companion piece to that revered album. minimize
