6 talented guys make up the initial band for this debut
album for White Heart. These guys write and play some of
the best pop styled songs for ccm.
"Carry On" was the first song I heard from this lp. We are
introduced to the incredible vocals of Steve Green: This
would be Steve's only album recorded with the group; he
would start a long and successful solo career after leaving
the group. Another ccm hit was the sensational "He's
Returning"; just love it!!
Side 2 includes a great duet with top ccm songstress
Sandi Patti, who was well into her successful ccm career.
Dann Huff duets with Sandi on "Everyday"; the song was
co-written with Gary McSpadden: great sax by Sam Levine
heard. "Black is White" is quite a different & kinda
unusual composition; written by member Billy Smiley, Gary
McSpadden, and then relatively unknown
singer/songwriter/musician in ccm Michael Smith: Michael
plays piano on this #.
I have a little difficulty with this song, as it deals with
the subject, if the devil wrote a bible: the song gives
attention to the devil. BTW, Greg Guidry a known songwriter
in pop field lends a hand with bgvs for the song "Black is
White; he was very talented on piano
& played in a band with pop icon Michael McDonald. Greg also
released a debut album this same year as White Heart: sadly
Greg died in a car fire at age 49 in July 2003. The last
# on side 2 is a song I really
like "Go Down Ninevah". This first album really
showcases the talents of these 6 guys.
GOD Bless! -Don
