David Archuleta "Begin" Review

Hey everybody! DC Dude here! I thought since David A is in our banner for the fall, I might as well review his new CD "Begin". We play it all time at my work and I've really grown to love the songs on this CD. Only one of them is original and all the others are covers. It's a really cool thing to do and put his voice to some of his favorite songs.
When I first heard that David was putting out a new CD I thought, "Wait a second...he's on a mission! How is that possible?" But he recorded it before he left, obviously. Which was a long time ago considering the CD came out a few weeks ago. Another interesting thing I found with this CD was that it wasn't with his usual recording company of 19/Jive. But I think to do this project, he may have needed to leave.
It is so hard to pick a favorite on this CD! They are all so good and they each are perfect for David A. I really like "Somewhere Only We Know". That song is quickly becoming one of my favorites ever since I heard it on Glee. One thing I love about the songs that David sings is that they are all so uplifting. And this album won't let you down on that one. They all encourage, inspire and lift everyone up. Especially "Be Still, My Soul", one of my favorite hymns of all time.
Should you got out and get this CD? DUH! Now, it is kind of hard to find. I haven't seen it at Target. I'm not totally sure about Wal-mart. I for sure saw it at Barnes & Noble and Deseret Book. Now, Deseret Book stores are hard to come by, so if all else fails, iTunes and Amazon are there too.
David Archuleta will always be a favorite of mine. And this CD puts him even more up on the list.
