Any “sound check” of true worship will reflect diversity. Worship carries the sound of every tribe, time and territory on the earth. Hearing John Ragsdale’s “the sound” is a journey through time — from the foot-stompin’ sounds of camp-meeting, to the bluesy sway of dingy clubs, to the freestyle rhythm of gospel – with its twins of country and rock, you will touch and be touched by the sights and sound of generations.
“The sound” will attract your soul — dancing while driving to the passionate pulse of the radical praise of John Ragsdale. Be careful, you may have to pull over as the sound of worship wrecks you, as you are drawn into the “Holy Place.” While your soul enjoys the skilled creative sounds this CD so cleverly reflects, your spirit will be seduced to the intimacy and intensity of the “place” where only you — and only for a moment — can abide. Moments that will feel like eternity. In those moments of worship, John slips away and allows the CD to “breathe.” Worship leaders know when its time to decrease so that HE can increase. Moments when Heaven and Earth kiss and you are caught in the middle.
The birth of the new and fresh starts with sound. Ultra sounds show proof of a new born baby. “The sound” will have the new thing God is doing “leaping in your womb”. Can you hear it?
