Those who know McMillan as the writer of \u003ci\u003eHow He Loves\u003c\/i\u003e (popularized by the David Crowder Band) will find the artist's own recorded work to be unexpectedly broad in sound and diverse in approach.  Songs like \u003ci\u003eSkeleton Bones, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarbon Ribs\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBelly of the Lion\u003c\/i\u003e have a cinematic quality in their depiction of broken urban landscapes, lost highways and desperate souls waiting for salvation.  The epochal \u003ci\u003eReckoning Day\u003c\/i\u003e is a particularly compelling portrait of a coming Rapture amidst the chaos of modern America.  \u003ci\u003ePhiladelphia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCarolina Tide\u003c\/i\u003e capture a small-town Southern ambiance through their telling lyric details and bluesy shadings.  Straight-ahead worship tunes like \u003ci\u003eMy Only\u003c\/i\u003e are delivered with a disarming sincerity and humble strength.  By turns quirky, startling and inspirational, The Medicine is a potent tonic for the spirit.- iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: July 28, 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Integrity Music\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 000768481523\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"John Mark McMillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772274945,"sku":"John Mark McMillan (2)","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/John_Mark_McMillan_The_Medicine_CD.jpg?v=1753372804"},{"product_id":"john-mark-mcmillan-economy-cd","title":"Economy CD","description":"Economy is the 2011 album from singer\/songwriter John Mark McMillan.  Successfully blending the genres of rock, alternative, soul, blues, and gospel- John Mark McMillan delivers on all musical fronts.  Economy is this singer\/songwriter's most cohesive statement yet, combining the urgency of a sinner's prayer with a bold musical attack reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young.  Muscular guitar riffs and slamming drums abound, giving tunes like \u003ci\u003eHeart Bleeds\u003c\/i\u003e and the title track a rafters-shaking impact.  McMillan's plaintive, slightly drawled vocals convey both strength and desperation, as if his salvation depended upon every word he sings.  Most of all, his lyrics-literate, highly poetic, and dramatically visual-make this an outstanding release.  McMillan confronts life, death, and resurrection in songs like \u003ci\u003eMurdered Son, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeen a Darkness,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHeart Bleeds\u003c\/i\u003e with courage born of passionate faith.
