Jim Murphy
It Was You
Mission House Music Group

"It Was You" is Jim Murphy's debut with Mission House Music Group. His primary voice is Contemporary Christian, but the range on his debut is wide. Just in the first two tracks alone Jim goes from a more upbeat rock sound on "All In This Together" to a more inspirational sound with "Bow the Knee."

The main focus of the CD is Jim's vocal abilities, but the soundtrack is well produced and complementary. The song selection is engaging and always Christ centered. My personal favorites are the title track "It Was You," "All In This Together," and "The Prints of Peace."

The majority of the album stays on the lighter side of contemporary christian, but it occasionally works up a commotion ("All In This Together"/"Taken Back"). For a debut it is very well done and the lyrical content is strong. With a little radio attention and some touring I'm certain that Jim's name will become common place in many homes.
