Remember When

Remember When

On Remember When, the Manarazes strike a balance between delicate balladry and tent-revival intensity. As with their 2015 debut, the Baptist quartet root themselves in traditional harmony work and piano. The salvation anthem “It Was Me” builds patiently before bursting into ecstatic gospel pleas; spotlighting Cam Manaraze’s bright tenor, “I Believe God” preaches the need for faith in times of hardship. The instrumentation, while conservative, plays a key role—hear how the bluegrass mandolin woven into “Shepherd in the Wilderness” lends a down-home feel.
