Aaron Greenway, a native of Waterloo, Ohio, is definitely a young man with a heart to reach a world looking for answers. This is evident throughout this CD, his fifth, but none more so or as direct as on the lovely song "One Way". The love of God for mankind is touched upon on "The Power Of The Cross" with the stirring string intro and the clever use of an excerpt from the classic old hymn "The Old Rugged Cross". The only weak point would be the instrumental "Hands Of Mercy" which seemed a bit out of place. Aaron states that with "Cry Out" he wanted to ". . .illustrate the message of Christ in a way that people will understand." With this CD three years in the making Aaron has succeeded in fulfilling his desire. There are many musical influences heard and used by Aaron to colour his music, ranging from pop sensibilities of groups such as 4Him and NewSong to the use of classical elements in the mould of the late, great Keith Green. We are also treated to Latin and jazz moments too.
