Roanoke Times: Contemporary Musician Produces New CD

From Miranda Adkins’ Blog at the Roanoke Times, Salem Virginia.

Salem resident Charlie Hamilton released his fourth album, “Transparent,” July 1. With a style akin to contemporary Christian artists like Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith, he plays worship services and fundraisers for churches as close as Christian Life International as far away as Virginia Beach.

“One of the things about my music and my ministry,” Hamilton said, “is I’ve always tried to tie the whole thing up in one word, intimacy: in-to-me-see.” He hopes that his tunes will give others another way to experience God, with his lyrics as “an intimate kind of Christian experience.”

Hamilton hopes to reach a larger audience with his ministry by focusing on putting his music online—“a couple of the places like Rhapsody, probably have the full length of the song,” as well as letting listeners buy single tracks. His first CD was released in 2001, and the singer-songwriter now has recording capability, a full studio, in his own basement.

“Right after the Beatles broke up, Paul McCartney produced a CD at that time, and he didn’t even have the equipment that we do today,” Hamilton said. Instead of 4- or 8-track recording, he said, computers can record many more tracks than that at one time. He explained the latest trend of computer-savvy, musically-inclined artists producing and promoting their own work online.

Some of the tracks on Hamilton’s album include instrumentals from Dan Mirolli, Larry Deacon, Tom Field, and Mark Palmer.

What people are saying…

“I have heard all the tracks on Transparent and they are beautifully done. Above the instrumentation, arrangement, and vocals, however– the overriding success of the CD lies within the anointing of God upon it. As soon as it started playing, the presence of the Lord came into the room and abided. This is the element that causes certain Christian music to transcend the physical and to touch the invisible realm of the Holy Spirit.” Nancy, Bedford VA

“Charlie has a heart for Jesus Christ that shows in the lyrics of his songs. When he sings, it isn’t performance but worship from his heart, which is exactly what the Lord wants to hear.” David, Lynchburg, VA

“Charlie has been a real inspiration to me. He is a genuine person full of love for the Lord and doing the Lord’s work. I have heard his CD and others in the past. He writes from his heart.” Brenda, Roanoke VA

“I know Charlie from working at the same place. I have liked him so much since first meeting him. He is everything one would expect a Christian to be.” Janice, Salem, VA

This is a worship song I wrote back in the late 90′s. It was written on guitar and transposed to keyboards. We hope you enjoy it.
