Christian folk-rock singer/songwriter Andrew Petersons eleventh solo outing finds the award-winning, Nashville-based artist in fine form. Peterson is an immensely likeable performer who can find room for Texas BBQ references within the often fiercely dogmatic world of Contemporary Christian Music, and his rootsy, folk-kissed blend of country and pop is as tuneful as it is spiritual. Counting Stars may walk a familiar line, but with songs as effortless and engaging as Many Roads and World Traveler, it makes for a fine afternoon stroll. – James Christopher Monger
