Do not doubt that the musical ministry of Straight Company is just that. It is so easy to get lost in the melodies of pop songs and R&B which are the language of their ministry that one might miss the serious message. It's joyful musical package. But then again maybe it's good to just find yourself picked up and carried along by this phenomenal septet, for their message is all the more potent when it gets through. The recording is largely original tunes, mostly co-written by multiple members of the group. Jesse Murrah, who goes by the name Essej, is the elder of a trio of siblings in the group and the senior spokesman. He explains that a major motivation of the group is to break down racial barriers and prejudice with love. We have to say that they are definitely helping to harmonize the world! |
