CUSTOMER REVIEW
I have enjoyed Ken Tamplin's style of singing (wide vocal range with great pitch and control) and fast and accurate lead guitar playing from his days in Shout up to the present day. The lyrical content of his songs also are a very positive spin on what has become generally a negative view on life, where he is not afraid to deliver the truth. This offering, Wake The Nations does not disappoint at all. Good range of musical styles from hard driving rock to mellow melodic rock. One goes away from listening to this cd being built up with hope for a better day after confronting our here and now in the light of Love. Best tracks ( even though all tracks are excellent )are The Story Of Love, Falling Houses, God In Heaven and Every Day Is Precious. Highly recommended
