Jesus Freak Hideout Reviews Jars 20
The fine folks at the Jesus Freak Hideout are singing the praises of Jars 20 in their “Early Thoughts” review:

Alongside hosting online StageIt concerts (and then offering free downloads of those concert’s highlights), [Jars of Clay] started a PledgeMusic campaign for a 20th anniversary acoustic double-album collection, with the songs voted on by their fans (two songs from each of their original studio albums minus their collaborative effort, The Shelter), plus two new songs. The result is enough to make many a longtime fan’s heart melt. While not quite as “reinvented” as their 2011 5-song acoustic EP (although a few songs contain some surprises not often heard on “acoustic” collections), most of these songs were delivered with a wonderful stripped-back approach which are at the same time fully true to their original tunes and yet also creatively reinterpreted.
