A Thousand Days

Editorial Reviews
MPH Records
South Seventeen returns with a groove heavy record that dwarfs it's predecessor. Larger than life production captures the songs that have quickly made them one of the hottest live acts in Phoenix.

About the Artist
Formed in late 1998, South Seventeen emerged from a 100 plus degree rehearsal space with a powerful sound and acclaimed debut album. The group's influences were worn on their sleeve with Sabbath-styled grooves under a wall of anthemic hooks reminiscent of Tonic and King's X.

On stage throughout 1999 the band quickly grew into more experimental arrangements, taking songs from the first album into different territories. These adventures coupled with the overall punch from South Seventeen's live... read more

A previous independent release and two tours with Caedmon's Call have gained Bebo Norman a notable fan base. His first major-label release, Ten Thousand Days blends the reflection of a journal entry, the images of a poet, and the experiences of one who embraces all that comes his way. This upbeat folk album spotlights Norman's journey as he grapples with the important issues of life in order to live more faithfully. Throughout the project, Bebo's vocal and lyrical style carries an element of quietness that comes from his innermost self. The music has a spacious feel, but is not lacking in richness. Every tone, rhythm, and harmony has been tastefully chosen to create a purposeful sound. Its unobtrusive nature gently beckons the listener, making it a good fit in any setting. --Israel Button

Rebirth of CD!!!.......2006-11-07

I have just recently been going through my old CD's and came across this jewel. I totally forgot how much raw and powerful emotions each song can produce. Each song gives an honest glimpse into the life and faith of Bebo Norman, and one that can match many others will the same views. You will not find another CD out there like it. It is one of my all time favorites and for very good reason. Don't let this CD go another day without it in your collection.

Breathtaking..........2003-08-12

I was introduced to Bebo Norman's music only a short time ago and the style and passion really do take your breath away. Here is a singer whose every words carve themselves onto your heart. They are unforgetable, they are genuine and they are stunning. His voice is soulful and gentle, with an incredible power that leaves you captivated. HIs words are poetic, and honest, and his music etches itself deep into your soul. You know, when you listen to him, that he really lives and breathes the love of the Lord God.

Quite stunning.

Bebo has my heart. A little bluesy, a little folk, a large measure of rock and pop, spin and enjoy! The emotion in his voice is incredible. The pictures he paints bring so much meaning to topics we've all grown too used to hearing. Another contemporary Christian artist worth hearing! He gets better with every album.

I first heard Bebo Norman during last year's Third Day tour; I ordered two of his CDs the day after the concert. This recording remains my favorite, for its richness and its diversity and its marvelous "listenability".

Friends of mine who are fond of CCM often criticize Bebo for what they regard as the simplicity of his lyrics; compared to those of Jennifer Knapp or a Caedmon's Call, the words to a Bebo song are straightforward. But on clever and powerful songs like the sublime "The Hammer Holds", Bebo crafts a simple, tuneful, and deeply resonant meditation on God's sovereignty through the story of a nail that will, in due course, pierce the side of Christ. I saw many tears being wiped away when Bebo sang that live in Los Angeles a year ago; I have wiped away a few of my own while listening to that particular track.

As I went through my recent and painful divorce, this was the CD that brought me the most reassurance. In particular, the lovely "Where the Angels Sleep" and the humble "In Your Hands" brought me tremendous comfort. Perhaps these are not the most sophisticated songs I could have been listening to, but in a time of great spiritual and emotional pain we tend to seek out the familiar, the comforting, and the beautiful. This CD has become all three of these for me, and I will continue to treasure it.
