“All I Need”
Brian Courtney Wilson
From the forthcoming Spirit Rising/Music World Entertainment CD Just Love
www.spiritrisingmusic.com
“A real simple prayer.”
Such is how Brian Courtney Wilson introduces “All I Need,” a single from his debut CD Just Love, produced by Stan Jones for Matthew Knowles’ Spirit Rising imprint.
“All I Need” is indeed a real simple prayer, with a real simple (and quite lovely) melody that Wilson weaves his athletic vocals in and around like a practiced preacher working the church aisles.
The contrast between Wilson’s extra soulful delivery and the delicate harmonies are what give the performance its musical distinctiveness. The first person vernacular lyrics – a characteristic separating gospel songs from other forms of sacred hymnody – are so intimate that you feel as if you are gazing uncomfortably into Wilson’s soul…or your own.

Hi — your best bet is to check out http://www.ntimemusic.com, as they have an enormous selection of gospel CDs. To paraphrase the old Martin and Morris Music Publishing motto: “If it’s on CD, they have it!”
Hi Brian,
I heard you sing for the first time at the Vince Young Community Unity Event at the Joe Butler Stadium in Houston, Texas. And also in the same day seen you sing at the Black Expo at the Convention Center Downtown. I was really moved by your Just Love (track 1) on you debut CD. It made me cry it was very moving. I thorougly enjoy your music. I play it over and over again. Be blessed and continue to be used of GOD!
Hello Brian
Met you Saturday at the early sale of your awesome CD–and its ‘Just Love’ to our Hallowed Lord and God. As I told you, I had been looking for the song “Already Here” for three months! Finally the CD dropped. Wishing you all God’s blessings and awesome success as you gently draw us to God’s mercy and grace. Brenda
Hi Brian, just want you to know how much I enjoy your music. when you are singing I can feel GOD’S spirit on you and in your songs. Allow God to continue to us you to build up the body of CHRIST, you never know who need your songs at that exact moment. may you and your family continue to be blessed.
