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.

MUSIC REVIEWS
" 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

TELL EVERY ONE ABOUT
IMRadio -- Got to
thinking. What if each of
us independent musicians
told our family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio.com, how
besides the main
stations, it has stations
for each of the states
individually, 75
countries, and just about
every musical genre --
reaching any internet
connection around the
world. We could tell them
in person, on the
internet or at small or
large venues. Anyone we
tell would appreciate the
convenience of such good
music from independent
musicians on their
computer. It would be
such a good way to help
all of us reach even more
listeners. With IMRadio,
we aren't just waiting at
the mercy of some major
label to decide whether
or not they will let us
be heard around the
world. There are enough
of us that the outreach
could be exponential.
And, wouldn't it be a
great way to say 'thank
you' to Paddy and all of
the other fine folks who
have put IMRadio.com on
the world's musical map.
They have put in money,
time, energy and
dedication, and all they
have asked of us in
return is to upload our
music and profile. I am
sure that they have great
plans to publicize
IMRadio and bring it to
even more listeners. In
the meantime, through,
wouldn't it be great if
we could all help a
little by just taking a
little time each day to
tell family, friends,
fans and acquaintances
about IMRadio. It
wouldn't cost a dime,
just a little time.
Yours, in Musical
Solidarity, Paul.
