"The production quality of this album is amazing," says lead vocalist James Jones. Kevin Clark, a producer out of St. Louis, mixed and mastered the audio and Blue Ocean Media Group produced the video.
The Rescued is the result of Jones gathering St. Louis area worship leaders and musicians to work together to create an all-acoustic set of 25 original songs. The collective selected their seven favorites and created full band, radio versions that became the first, self-titled EP.
"Our goal is to bring light to the world and show God's love through the songs he has poured into us." Jones says."John 1:5 says, 'The Light shines in the darkness. The darkness has never been able to put out the Light.'.
"The Rescued was not meant for us as musicians to have an outlet to write and play music. It was meant for the people of the community to be part of the experience of the salvation story," he says. "At the end of the day, that's the only thing that matters, to be rescued."
