Faces Memories Places 
Artist: Sherri Youngward 
Label: 5 Minute Walk Records  

Miss Youngward, with the very able assistance of some fine musicians, has made a welcome addition to contemporary Christian music cd racks with Faces Memories Places. Sherri Youngward sings her songs, subtle commentaries on life and society, in a plea sing, deep soprano. The music is acoustic and soothingl the lyrics thoughtful and unambigous; liner notes give Youngward's thoughts on each song. "Peace" is a beautiful, slow song reminding us that God is in control. The slower songs are my favorites here, and Aaron Sprinkle did a fine job with the production; as well as contributing his guitar work. I will be looking for more from Sherri Youngward in the future. ------Tony La Fianza 

 
Sherri Youngward's sound is more mature and polished than the glimpses we heard on Take Time To Listen Vol. II. The prospect of a full project by this solo folk/rock artist was not very appealing, but it's clear she's been refining her craft, and her marketability is soaring. -----Linda Stonehocker
