Comments on David Coate:
"Who is David Coate?" ...I hear you ask. Well, you may not be familiar with the name yet, but I predict within a short time you and everyone else who listens to Christian music will. David Coate sounds like a cross between Mark Farner and Greg X. Volz [Petra], and he can really belt out a tune! Coate's music is unique, and that's one of the things that makes this new... release special. It's a versatile fusion of Rock, Jazz, and R&B that gives "Still Small Voice" a sound all it's own."
