Dave is the cousin of K-ci & Jo Jo who had UK success in the late '90s. This album, his first for a gospel label, was recorded in 2006 as a concept project, autobiographical in nature featuring his return to faith. Dave's years in the industry shine through as in song he outlines his return to faith. Once past the opening prayer, the disc starts with soulful "Nothing But God". An introduction follows, then "Help Me" outlines Dave's struggles in a streetwise groove that would challenge many R&B artists. This is a quality recording, but it loses its musical path somewhat when content appears to overtake the music such as "The Settlement" which outlines his divorce. This becomes a challenging listen even for the most dedicated. And "Nothing But God" quite frankly goes on far too long! However, the cracking "No One" pulls the Hollister ship back on course. A mixed album from a man with a wonderful testimony.
