Jake Hamilton's 'Beautiful Rider' is an impassioned, no-holds-barred exploration of the awesomeness of God. 'His raw vocal and heartfelt performance make this album stand out from its contemporaries as a clear cry of praise to God from a gifted musician unafraid to lay his heart before the cross. 'From the spacious and breathy arrangements of 'Beautiful Rider' and 'Thank You' to the bluesy crunch of 'Never Let Me Down' and the stadium rock sound of 'Behold God Is Great' this is an album of songs written to enthuse and minister to the church.
