Sounds Like: Vini's music in this collection is thematically 60's folk, Dylanesque. Although 'The Invitation' could be considered Acoustic Alternative and 'Christ Crucified' is Americana Mariachi with a righteous message and Beatles-like background vocals, songs like 'His Truth', 'Give It All To Christ', & 'Let Him In' as well as other cuts, are true to the Folk tradition. Bottom Line: God be Glorified!!
