 Inner
Flame - LIVE! At Victory Christian Center (Rolla,
Missouri)
{2005 | Inner Flame & KBH Productions}
Hailing
from central Missouri, Inner Flame is a hybrid
mix of 70's era hard rock, southern rock, and
Texas blues. Their mission is not to preach,
but to reach.
Wayne Bates – Guitar & Vocals; Christy
Bates – Vocals; Tim Clouse – Bass;
Stef Clouse – Percussion; Nick Burchett
– Guitar & Vocals and Chris Clemens
– Drums.
The
worship filled tracks are:
1. Never Go Back Again – from the beginning
I liked the strong bass.
2. Getcha Praise On – more of a classic
rock tune.
3. I Give Everything – man, the vocals
are right on and sound sweet to my ears.
4. Every Step Of The Way – this would be
Inner Flames version of blues served up Texas
style.
5. The Bottom Line – vocally, musically
just a dynamite song, I really liked it a lot.
6. I Know Who I Believe In – a slower song
with lots of bass and bits of blues guitar.
7. Potion – bluesy nice and easy rockin’-blues.
8. Testify – this song was borrowed from
the Chris Shepherd Band. It’s a southern-rock
y’all.
9. Where Would I Run – a rock song, kinda
reminded me of Heart.
10. Take It To Jesus – on the recording
Tim’s bass is dominant, that’s OK
with me. I like the bass.
11. Used To Have The Blues – this implies
you have to be blue to have the blues, it’s
a slow blues tune.
12. Roll Away The Stone – not blues, not
rock… I dunno’ but it’s just
a good song, kinda mellow in a Pink Floyd way.
13. Doin’ Alright – is a fairly fast
paced tune.
14. I Will Celebrate – this is a go to
church and get your blood rushing song.
15. Spirit In The Sky – this is such a
great song originally by Norman Greenbaum in
1970. I dig it more each time I hear it.
While
the sound quality of this live recording is
only fair the music is great. This is feel good
music, done well. I liked it. I look forward
to their next CD and getting the chance to catch
a live show. For the latest information on Inner
