Lucas Parry
Made To Fly
Independent

I was taken by surprise when I first played Made to Fly as my preconceived notions of another bland worship leader were smashed. Aside from the fervent opening track “Revive Me,” I was further impressed with all aspects of the project including the arrangements, lyrics and overall quality of the recording. I had not thought of it until after reviewing Jeff Deyo’s Surrender, but Parry’s pop-rock style is somewhat similar to that of Deyo.

Parry hails from Australia where he had already begun a music career. Made to Fly is his second independent release. From his latest release, it’s easy to discern that Parry can function as both a songwriter and performer. Since leaving his home land Parry has married and relocated to the Nashville area to pursue his musical calling. You can find samples on both his official web site and his myspace web site. I highly recommend listening to “Revive Me,” “Take Me Home” and “Photograph” to get a good feeling for who Lucas Parry is as an artist.
