Album Review
With the release of his 2002 album Storm, singer/songwriter Fernando Ortego dons the many hats of storyteller, worship leader, and poet. He carefully weaves artistic strokes of musical excellence with tender, and at times sorrowful, lyrical expressions. This is very much a project containing an "old world" feel; Ortego's folk style depends on the balanced combination of acoustic guitar and piano, flavored with the sound of traditional hymns and Spanish influences. While his style differs from that of Twila Paris, both artists can be pointed to as sustainers and creators of modern-day hymns. On Storm, Ortego includes his own arrangements of traditional pieces such as "Come Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy," a duet with labelmate Amy Grant, and a new song, "Sing to Jesus." Also included is the track "Traveler," a song in which Ortego sings, "Heavenly Father/Remember the traveler/Bring us safely home." The track seems appropriate in the early stages of 2002, a year in which traveling carries heightened risks and anxiety. Overall, Storm is a retelling of a classic yet timeless tale. It is a reminder of the hope and redemption that many find in Jesus Christ.
Customer Reviews
The Best Fernando Ortega Album
I am a huge fan of Fernando, but even I have to admit that this is his finest album to date. In addition to the classic hymns that are sprinkled throughout all Fernando Ortega's albums, the original work on this album is unparalleled...and I'm talking about the stuff that doesn't receive radio air play, though, it's good in it's own right ("Light of Heaven" and "Sing To Jesus").
The title song, "Storm", is a lyrical gem that allows the mind to explore all the meaning in the few words that comprise this song. Each time I hear the song I connect it to a new situation, a new setting, a new meaning. To me, that's the signature of a great song.
"Our Great God", co-written with Mack Powell of Third Day, is nothing short of an anthem...a modern day hymn. In addition, it is a song that I could easily see a group with an edgier sound covering and making into a popular radio hit.
Finally, "This Time Next Year" will find a place in the heart of any parent or grandparent. Every time I hear it I thank God that my newborn has three living grand parents that love him, but I also mourn the loss of the one that will never hold him in his arms. At least in this world.
Buy this album...and every other Fernando Ortega album as well! :-)
Let all mortal flesh keep silence
Listen and absorb these words. It truly gives you a glimpse and feel of the heavenly host.....
Wonderful
I remember when my family would go on road-trips. This album was always playing in the background. This album is a bit more hip than his other previous albums, but keeps the southern hispanic acoustic and piano that makes Ortega different from the average artist. This album held me through my first semester of college, so it is surely an album to put on your night time playlist!
