Title Trak review by Title Trak
Nothing Back by Jason Eaton Reviewed by Caleb Newell ...a short but powerful start to a career that seems to be divinely blessed... this is one you won’t want to miss A journey through various life circumstances, doors opening, and divine revelations that signify a blessing far beyond his ethereal tenor range lead to Jason Eaton’s full time pursuit of faith-based singing/arranging/songwriting/worship leading. Singing in churches lead Jason to get a degree in music education from Olivet Nazarene University. From there he found himself a soloist with Thurlow Spur Productions of Concert Ministries, International, playing the lead role in “David, A Man after God’s Own Heart”. He also appeared on “The 700 Club” with Pat Robertson. After handing every aspect of his life over to God after an emotional alter call, he fostered a passion towards a musical calling currently represented in the EP Nothing Back. The opening title track, “Nothing Back”, is a declaration of complete surrender to God. A trifecta starts out the album for someone who has turned every aspect of his life over to God. “All I got/ All I am/ All my dreams/ All my plans/ I’m holding back/ I’m holding nothing back from You”, a full power opening; the lyrics are well-built upon, the tenor vocals are out-of-this-world, and the music is compassionate. This is my favorite track on the album. The next song relates to the divine intervention within Eaton’s career. “God Thing” declares that we can’t always explain what is happening around or to us. It feels like we have been swept away in a massive storm, but all we do now is that it was a God thing. Free” speaks about salvation. How good God is and how free we have been made through His love. We have been humbled and we have been granted peace through His saving grace. The song brings the CD up a notch, and rocks out about God, and our salvation; great topics to rock out to. The next track was arranged by Eaton. “I Bowed” is a great praise song to include in this CD. It speaks about a dream about going to Heaven, and giving all praise and glory to God. Then we asked to see the Savior of the whole world, Jesus, and we bowed before the Holy One. We all search for truth throughout our lives, sometime we believe a lie, and sometimes the truth is hard to swallow. “Holding Out Hope” is a declaration that we need to hold out hope to those that are still searching for truth in a world that will break them, and is consumed by fear. Who doesn’t need hope to get through this life? Nothing Back is a short but powerful start to a career that seems to be divinely blessed. Though none of the songs were written by Jason Eaton, I can’t wait to hear some that will be. The selection of songs for this CD was phenomenal. Nothing Back is available at iTunes and your local store; this is one you won’t want to miss.

Bella Online review by Bella Online magazine
Nothing BackJason Eaton Opening with the pensive title song Jason Eaton smooth vocals and slick synthesized production speak of giving all to God. Holding “Nothing Back” from God and it appears as though he is holding nothing back from his listeners too. While the title song is one of hard hitting tracks and driving guitar beats the next song on the project “God Thing” is a sweet, pop-rock tune and then he moves right into a ballad with “Free” which beautiful speaks of the goodness of God and how it can set us free. Although he is a new Christian artist he is no stranger to Christ. He accepted him as a teenager and from that point on dedicated his music and life to him. After stints in several groups and musicals including the musical “David a Man After God’s Own Heart” he is now embarking on a solo journey. Well if this project is any indication we have a lot of good things to look forward to from Jason Eaton. Check out Jason at http://www.jasoneaton.org

Nashville Publicity Group by Nashville Publicity Group
(NASHVILLE, Tennessee) – JEM Records recording artist Jason Eaton has released his debut EP, Nothing Back, as a digital exclusive, available through iTunes and other major online outlets, including Amazon.com. The title track is going for adds now at Christian radio stations nationwide, while the singer/songwriter/worship leader puts the finishing touches on the full-length project that will be released to retail later this year. The journey to Jason Eaton's full time pursuit of faith-based artistry began with a degree in Music Education at Olivet Nazarene University. From there, Eaton found himself on stage as a soloist with the Thurlow Spur productions of Concert Ministries International, playing the lead role in the musical “David, A Man After God's Own Heart” (written by Cam Floria, head of the Continental Singers) and subsequently appearing on “The 700 Club” with Pat Robertson. Before long, Eaton was touring full time with the vocal band Liberty. While Eaton plans to tour in support of Nothing Back, his wife of 13 years Wendy Jo and their three sons will be along for the ride. “Family comes first and they come with me as well,” explains Eaton. “Everything I do in my musical calling is for Christ. It's not about Jason Eaton as the artist. It's about His purpose and plan, plus sharing His love to those who are Christians, those who've fallen away from Christ or those who've never known Christ as their savior.” It's no wonder that the material found within Nothing Back is so vertically centered, starting with the title track as the project's lead single. The contagious cut was arranged by Eaton and penned by Beat Street Records/Provident recording artist/songwriter John Waller (Casting Crowns, According To John). Eaton also turns to Waller's esteemed songbook for a fresh rendering of “God Thing,” which talks about God lifting a believer out of a valley after fully surrendering the situation. From there, he re-interprets the Vineyard Music song “Free,” and offers a new rock ballad arrangement of the old time gospel hymn “I Bowed On My Knees and Cried Holy.” The EP's finale “Holding Out Hope To You” has become a concert favorite. “I consider it an honor to do Christian music because my faith defines who I am,” Eaton says. “If I were to sing secular music, that would be very empty to me. I'm not saying some of those songs don't have meaning, it's just that Christian music has a much higher meaning because of my faith. Before I sing, I always pray ‘let me step aside and let me be the vessel for you. Help the spotlight shine right though me onto you.' When you do that and realize it has nothing to do with you, but rather it's all about Christ, then that's when the Holy Spirit can really move.”

Christianity Today review by Christian Music Central
Jason Eaton Nothing Back 4 Stars Style: pop/contemporary; Michael English, Clay Crosse, Steven Curtis Chapman In a nutshell: Whether he's re-arranging a classic hymn ("I Bowed On My Knees and Cried Holy") or putting his own stamp on John Waller-penned tunes, Michigan native Jason Eaton boldly stands out from today's contemporary crop. Between his glistening vocal delivery, slick production, and redemptive message, this iTunes exclusive EP is strong enough for listeners to crave a full-length CD.
