The Review Zone – Caspar McCloud : Revelation Rocker @PastorCaspar Posted on June 16, 2018 by nigelsteady CASPAR McCLOUD : Revelation Rocker. (www.Theupperroomfellowship.org) Caspar McCloud’s background is a fascinating one – Robin Thompson referred to it in his Feb 2017 review of Caspar’s earlier release ‘Faithfulness’. As a quick re-cap however, he is a brilliant rock guitarist with a solo secular recording background that began in the 1970s, who became a Christian under the witness of Phil Keaggy. UK born but for many years based in the US, Caspar is now an ordained minister – and also, incidentally, an admired portrait artist. He continues to write, record and tour as a heavy rock Christian music artist, and is actually due in the UK this September. In ‘Revelation Rocker’ we have 13 tracks that showcase Caspar’s considerable guitar virtuosity – if you like your rock to be typically 1970s, heavy, proud and loud and often featuring guitar licks that 99% of musicians wouldn’t consider, Caspar’s your man! There’s a serious side to all of this however. Caspar has a heart for spreading the Christian gospel. His song titles alone indicate where he is coming from – titles like ‘Let them see we are Christians’, ‘Jesus wins’, ‘Pictures of Jesus’, ‘Jesus be glorified’. His lyrics are genuine, honest and straight from the hip. It is difficult for me to mention standout tracks because, to be fair, heavy rock is not exactly my bag. If you appreciate lyrics that are well crafted and production that is polished until it is perfect, this album is probably not for you – but if you’re into a bit of air guitar while you hear guitar licks to die for and the gospel being preached from the heart of a man who clearly loves his Lord, I strongly suggest you give Caspar a listen. 7/10 Dave Deeks.
