The Gift
The Gift is a folk rock style album of Christian music written and performed by Scott Ryan of Crooked Timber. 78 minutes of interwoven instrumentals and clever lyrics make up The Gift, which references many parts of the Gospels over the 18 tracks. A musician, mathematician, lawyer, philosopher and general renaissance man, Scott was converting to Catholicism, and finished recording the album at the end of 2015. His death in February of 2016 was unexpected and devastating to all who knew him. This album is dedicated to Saint Thomas Aquinas, the Catholic philosopher and theologian who led Scott to the Church in which he found so much joy. It was his hope that his music would also bring joy to others, and so this album is being released with that hope. The name Crooked Timber was taken from a quote by the philosopher Kant - Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.
