Ever come across the phrase "every home-should have one". Well I think I've found therecord it was said about. This is American gospel at its peak - melodies that after one play are firmly embedded in the memory bank, semi-devotional lyrics that convey simple truths but aren't in themselves simplis­tic and a production warmer than a duvet on a winter's night. A track by track listing wouldn't do the album justice as there are more peaks than the Himalayas, with every track, yes every track, ministering in its own way. "Colors Of Your Love" and "Be Your Guest" have harmonies straight out of the Heavenly Host praise book and are superb worship songs. Ever tried to drive with one hand raised? You've really got to listen to it to believe just how classy this album is. I haven't come across an LP that has this much inspiration and Ministry locked within its songs for a long, long time and the Archers faith and commitment shines brighter than a skip full of glow worms in a coalmine. Buy a copy, give it away and then buy another, because it deserves to be huge-songs, from the heart for the heart.
