Bob Farrell has been around for a very long time and will be well known as both a producer of Nashville CCM hits and half (with his wife) of popular '80s duo Farrell & Farrell. Despite being in the Christian music industry for over 30 years this is his first solo album and is a collection of songs Bob has written over the years with the many collaborators he has worked with. Though the opener, "Earthmaker", is the oldest song here the songwriting is timeless and the production is bang up to date and sets the scene nicely for the rest of the album. From the beautiful strings and brass opening of "Anything More" to the Latin lilt of "Amor De Mi Vida" through to the up tempo and very contemporary "Be There" there is something here for every taste and each track brings something new and fresh. Altogether this is a very satisfying listen from the veteran songsmith and deserves investigation.
