This is a solo project by a member of the band Selah and songs are mostly guitar-led pop rock but with gentler offerings, "Our Love Will Survive" and "Sweet Jesus", a duet with Matthew West. The album has a theme based on John Eldredge's book Wild At Heart: Discovering The Secret Of A Man's Soul, encouraging Christian men to live life to the full, a book which I happen to have had recommended to me and read earlier this year. Track titles such as "Lukewarm" and "Alive" reflect the theme and, obviously, the lyrics are a particularly important element of the album. Todd's expressive, and at times soulful, voice is well suited to this collection of 10 songs and the project is well worth a listen.
