Welcome! I am a singer/songwriter of different styles of Christian and Country Music....Enjoy the message I bring, and may your heart be ministered to.
Hello! I'm very glad you stopped in to listen and visit. :) The message I carry is simply this...Jesus loves you and I do too. Hope you enjoy what you hear, and get a blessing from the music, as God does not give His people gifts to just set them upon the shelf, and never be used. I'm only as good as the Lord helps me to be, and I'm thankful for the blessings He has bestowed upon me. I'm NOT perfect, never claimed to be; but on the other hand, I have a message to minister in song, and I do that to the best of my ability. I fully realize there are many songs I demo here that don't fit my style/voice, but I can't run out and get a singer that fits everytime I write a song. :) What I write or cover comes from the heart. I've endured many hard trials in my life, and each one has, in one way or the other made its way into a song that others can relate to. All of my songs except for noted exceptions are free downloads. I'm not a professional by any means, nor am I interested in becoming one; and so the music is given away just as freely as the message was given to me.

Story behind the song
This is my cut of Jesus Is, done in my style. :) I had a lot of fun collaborating with Kurt on this song. When I heard Kurt's original cut, I could hear MUCH more than what was there, and I went with it. So, I built a track, Kurt added his wonderful guitar playing, and we each did a cut...you can find his cut at Kurt Lewis Neufer I know alot of people hold with traditional music, when it comes to gospel singing/songs... BUT, sometimes ya gotta get up and go with some of it..most especially when it contains a great message. :D And I LOVED this message.
Lyrics
Written by Kurt Lewis Neufer/Tammy Swindell 06/08 Jesus is my brother, Jesus is my friend, Jesus is my savior, Savior to the end, When my love is failing, Jesus makes it strong, I can hear Him saying, I’ve been with you all along Jesus is my brother, Jesus is my friend, Jesus is my savior, Savior to the end, Jesus lifts my spirit, When I’m feeling down, Jesus gives me confidence, For I know He’s around, Jesus is my brother, Jesus is my friend, Jesus is my savior, Savior to the end, Jesus is my salvation, All I have to do is believe, Jesus took my sins upon Him,(and died) On a cross at Calvary Jesus is my brother, Jesus is my friend, Jesus is my savior, Savior to the end, Jesus is my brother, Jesus is my friend, Jesus is my savior, Savior to the end, Jesus is my brother, Jesus is my friend, Jesus is my savior, Savior to the end,

Hi Tammy, Nicely done, I love the melody of this song. A very strong message of what Jesus means to us. Love your vocals in this track. I have heard a two other versions of this Kurty classic :), it very interesting to hear what each person brings to a song. I also heard his first version of the song and what a difference between the two. Thank you so much for your kind words on my latest songs, I have had so much fun with music since starting to do collaborations. Jude and Kurty have been so nice to work with and because of their encouragement, I have ventured out of my comfort zone and tried new things. I never imagined how much fun it would be and how much that I would learn about music. And there is still so much that I have to learn. The song with Miguel (Caruso) was a challenge, Miguel based his track on a track by Neal Schon and I had to work out what was belng played. So happy that it all worked out. I begin college next week, I am studying to be a teacher of you

Hugsssssss Tammy, I know it has been far too long between my visits, I am so easily distracted whe i am not busy. While I can agree with Johnny's assessment inpart, I know nothing of the technical side so I rate on overall.... (Anton H, the artist also known as M.U.D. Most UNtechnical Dude). I think there is a valid point for a key change to keep the interest but it copes well without because it has huge singalong/audience participation appeal. Tammy, your own comment that some traditional gospel people think the music should follow a pattern is discounted by the fact that I think this song delivers it's message with every bit as much impact as any traditional style. I also applaud JP for his in depth analysis because he appreciates and cares. Nice song/good music would not do this justice. Keep doing what you do in your own style sweet, it is great stuff. Many thanks also for your kind words and thoughts on my latest collab with Amy Caldwell. Amy did a great job and I am really chuffe

Great job, Tammy/Kurt, you nailed a joyful "camp meeting" feel with this track. 1. Composition: This is a very memorable melody and the hooks are happening right away. The simplicity and repetition are appealing and the message is uplifting. However, the song really needs a bridge/middle 8. There is about 2:30 worth of song here (as is) and 4:48 is just too long without significant build ups/build downs in the arrangement. This is a potentially excellent composition and is a rousing sing along. However, without the change up offered by a thoughtfully composed middle 8 section, you've said all you are going to say musically and lyrically in the first 1:45. 2. Arrangement: I like the horns but they are masked by the vocal harmonies which are in an almost identical frequency. Move the horns to the right end of the keyboard for a higher brass sound that will separate better from the vocals. There's an awful lot of midrange frequencies competing for the listener's attention
