Search - Kurt Wilson :: Day of Power

The music is all rock and pop, but Kurt Wilson gets much of his lyrical inspiration directly from scripture; like '107', the final cut on his debut album 'Day of Power.' "It's really not a new concept," Kurt explains. "Handel did it with the 'Messiah'- it's pure scripture - and the message is timeless." The title cut, 'Day of Power', was inspired by the Arthur Wallis book on spiritual revival 'In the Day of Thy Power.' Kurt is joined on the album by a multi-cultural and multigenerational band of talented musicians from Brazil, South Africa and the United States. African-American recording artists "Meant to Be" contributed to much of the background vocals on these tracks. "It was fun seeing the songs come to life in the studio. Everyone made such a unique and inspired contribution," he reflects. Also sitting in on the song 'Light and Truth'' is friend and fellow songwriter Casey Corum from Vineyard Music Group. "Casey and I met at a songwriter's workshop led by Andy Park back in 1997," Kurt explains. "Casey was relatively unknown back then. In fact, he had just signed contract on his song 'Mercy, Mercy' which I believe was released later that year. Now he's one of VMG's top recording artists and producers."
