Aeolian are a group of musicians who came together out of the worship team at their home church, River Of Life Outreach in Lyons, Georgia, USA. 'Risk' is a diverse album, drawing on the influences of jazz and blues, as well as a hint of progressive rock. Vocal duties are shared between guitarist Teri Williams and pianist Eric Love and lyrically the album is beautifully spiritual. 'Risk' is actually a concept album, following a young girl on a metaphorical journey which parallels our journey through life and the risks we take on that journey. 'Risk' is a creative work which hints at a level of musicality not always found in the church worship group, the arrangements are subtly coloured with violin and mandolin parts. Noah Bullard's sensitive touch on both bass guitar and double bass, together with Micah Williams on drums, create an atmospheric backdrop for some gorgeous compositions.

Music with a good message is what is missing in this world today. Thankfully Aeolian is bringing a positive message to all diffrent groups. They have tons of live music available for download on their website - aeoliansound.com - along with three studio albums. Check it out!

Sometimes when im in the bathtub and im soaking in bubbles...and for that matter my depression...i seep in the words of Eric Love and i lose myself in a mystical world of magic, shiny things, and maybe even like a dragon or something

Honestly, this is my favorite band ever!!! There is such a raw, passionate heart seeping from the very seams of the music. Best buy I ever made!

Aeolian is amazing! I have their first CD, but after this review will more than likely purchase their second one as well. Thank you

This CD lived in my player for 12 weeks -- I loved it so much I almost had to give it an eviction notice.
