Eleven original compositions in a mellow, mainly acoustic contemporary folk style. Tony's silky vocal style caresses the songs gently, the over all effect is of well-crafted material, presented with that elusive brand of simplicity necessary to coax the last drop of beauty from a song. The backings are sparse and effective - a special nod of approval to John De Jong for some very fluent, expressive lead guitar expertise. The songs cover the usual range of Christian themes, the lyrics could sometimes be accused of being too obvious, but it all makes a pleasing change from intense complexity and overbearing cleverness.
