Imperfect World

Christian Century,  Nov 29, 2005  by Lou R. Carlozo

Imperfect World, by Peter Himmelman (Majestic Recordings). Rock.

Himmelman's Jewish faith has always informed his music, giving it delightful spunk and tart theological crispness. "Kneel Down" is a rustic rocker, splashed with flamenco electric guitar and a thoughtful refrain: "Kneel down, for the party's just beginning / We don't run in the house of God, we only crawl." The title cut is a stealthy song grounded by growling guitars, and the closing track, "Another Day," is a ballad in which persistence wrestles with futility ("Sometimes if you're lucky God will give you another day").
