Search - Neal Katz :: Who Am I?

"Who Am I?" is the debut Jewish music album by artist Neal Katz. "Who Am I?" features Neal Katz on guitar and vocals with an ensemble of 25 musicians creating an exciting sound setting for the powerful lyrics. The twelve songs on the album are a mixture of Hebrew and English and use texts from the Bible and from Jewish liturgy. Neal collaborated with lyricist Alan Cook on a number of the songs. The songs have an educational component to them, teaching Jewish values while offering new musical settings for traditional Hebrew texts. Since the songs on the album deal with topics such as Israel, Middle East peace, leadership, and performing commandments, the album can be seen as both great music and as a teaching tool. The music is a mixture of rock, folk, and klezmer. Some songs were written to be included in concerts and song-sessions, while others were written to be sung in synagogue prayer services.
