As many will know, Vinesong are led by John Watson and originate from South Africa but have been based in the UK for the past few years. They travel throughout the UK and Europe ministering in song. Vinesong recorded four best-selling albums with Kingsway, three from which Kingsway have taken the "best" and produced a compilation album. If Kingsway think they have made the album with the "best" of Vinesong's three albums then I would dread to think how awful the rest of the songs are. John Watson has tried mixing African music with Western music, and it doesn't work. I found it almost impossible to worship to this music as some of the songs were like nursery rhymes. Many have been touched by Vinesong's ministry, for me their music was twee and vacuous.

COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE ME THE LYRICS OF 'JUST ANOTHER TOUCH'



Posted by carol in gozo @ 15:36 on Sep 17 2009

David - I have a very worn cassette tape of Vinesong's 'Let your living water flow' and the song you're asking about is on there but I don't have the cover to be able to tell you the track.
If I ever find out I shall let you know.

I think this review is outrageous! these songs point all the glory to God - if your reviewer cannot see past his personal taste I think you need some new reviewers.



Posted by Andreew in Wales @ 10:10 on Sep 23 2009

How can you call the music twee and vacuous when so many of their songs are simply scripture? Are you implying that scripture is twee and vacuous? And as you said, many have been touched by the so-calles "nursery rhymes" as you call them. You are judging their music by the world's standards and fnot by God's.

these songs are part of me and uplift my soul esp Peace like a river, He is able....John Watson and team you are God's true ambassadors. at times i cry just listening to your music

Does anyone have the original Vinesong cassettes/tapes from the 1980's. The delivery of the music was different then because of the use of th eletric guitar and it had different singers. I really enjoyed a cassette I had but lost. I would gladly pay for a replacement.
