About Us:
Jeannie Gilliam is a new artist with
inspirational, soothing and relaxing
praise/gospel/Christian music. This
album has been a lifelong dream for an
up and coming artist and she has been
writing inspirational songs for over
30 years with these twelve uniquely
written songs being highlighted here.
Her Producer, Dwayne Russell helped
every step of the process on this
album and pushed Jeannie to excel to
be her best on each and every song and
added much of his own creativity.
Dwayne was an awesome person to work
with and very good at producing,
editing, mixing, making sounds effects
on the keyboard, and an all around
great producer
You will be delighted to hear the
variety of songs from Celtic songs, to
soothing relaxing melodic tunes, great
guitar licks, war songs, and also
songs with African drumbeats. This
album is an eclectic treat of Jeannie
Gilliams favorite songs. Many talented
musicians came together to help
Jeannie with the background
instrumentals. She sang all the vocals
for this album.

THE COMPLETE MAKING OF THE CD= THE
STORY BEHIND THE CD
The 1st song, "AMAZED" has a Celtic
sound with musicians from Nashville
playing Irish bagpipes, fiddle, button
accordion, and an Irish whistle. The
acoustic guitar on some of the songs
features a former lead guitarist who
went on tour with the Beach Boys. His
name is Philip Bardowell. He is very
talented and an awesome musician!!!
The sounds of the mandolin on the
song,” Precious Blood," by Mike
Stephens will cause you to sing along
with the catchy chorus, and the song,
"Amazed" will also be just as
memorable. The song, "Rain on me" is
very melodic., with cello and acoustic
guitar played skillfully by Jeannie's
niece Erin Mulvihill and also Philip
Bardowell. The last song on the album,
"Hungry Heart" features an African
drummer named Steven Osi with sounds
similar to some of the songs from "The
Lion King" that make you want to
dance...
"Jeannie Gilliam is a new artist with a soul
searching intimate worship style that brings you
closer to your Maker." A fitting start to
Jeannie's biography that I read on Reverbnation, I
was asked to comment and review Jeannie's tracks
and so dutifully I did as I was asked, and I thank
the Lord that I did, for here I found some
stunning and musically brilliant tracks, from the
Celtic inspired " Amazed " to the psalmist feel of
" Inner Chamber. " This album offers an array of
styles and musical nuances, and the underlying
vocal talents of Jeannie Gilliam carry every track
effortlessly, a vocal style reminiscent of the
Irish Traditional vocalist Dolores Kane. That
same strong voice yet filled with emotion and a
rare depth of feelings. Being Irish myself I could
fully comprehend and appreciate the often subtle
use of ethnic instruments that were utilized to
give this collection of songs that unique & dare I
say pleasing touch.
Would I recommend Jeannie Gilliam ? Would I play
her music on my radio shows ?
The answer to both questions would have to be a
resounding yes !!!!
On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd happily and truthfully
give Jeannie an 8
Wonderfully performed music, listen yourself I'm
sure you'll agree.

" CD review: Orange County, CA Singer/songwriter
Jeannie Gilliam's "Amazing", is a breath of fresh
air from your typical Christian or gospel music
album. She incorporates some celtic elements,
beautiful instrumentals and percussions, alongside
her fierce vocals. I can see Jeannie as a
crossover artist with her AC type track "You
Surround Me" or World and Zone Music Reporter
tracks like "This is My Cry" and "Call to War".
Overall, I enjoyed her music and her sweet message
for the love of her faith. An inspirational and
beautiful outlook of life, Jeannie Gilliam sang
her praise to the lord. -Reviewed by Shelly

Hi. I posted 2 new songs
a week ago. I'd love
feedback. Fool For Me &
Running Away are the new
ones. The vocals aren't
anything to write home
about, I smoke, I'm old,
whatever. I try to write
good songs so, I want to
be a writer not a
performer. So let me know
what you think good or
bad when you get a
chance. Thanks so much
Mark
