Linger In Bloom is aptly named. From the first track to the last, Annagail carries you on a musical journey filled with reflection, raw honesty, surrender, admiration, struggle and celebration-all places we “linger in bloom” as children of God trying to be more like Him. Make no mistake, this is a rock album. It is creatively flavored with fresh lyrics and unique instrumentation. Some songs creatively infuse the mandolin and harmonica while others are tempered with a bit of modern day folk. My favorite attribute of Annagail is the bands ability to shine with different musical sounds and styles. Jennifer and Jared share lead vocals which puts the band in a class where few are blessed to be. Yes, its a rock album with mass appeal. Annagail's gifted songwriting and their ability to “mix it up” is shown from the contemplative “Close Your Eyes” to the fun, uplifting “Song That Never Ends”. All in all, this is a great record for everyone.
