Yep, our American cousins make this radio friendly pop gospel better than anybody. Already a Top Ten Christian album Stateside, the blend of impassioned leads and fulsome harmonies, plenty of state-of-the-art production ideas from Michael Omartian, while the hooks are magnificent "For Future Generations" with its insightful lyrics is one of the most tuneful songs CCM has produced for years while the current radio hit Stateside, the punchy R&B-oriented "The Wings" is another gem. Steer clear of it if you have boring rad music/safe music prejudices. But if you want pop with the craft and creativity to speak truth on the airwaves, this is for you.

This group of guys are flying high with this, their 5th cd;
what a collection of songs!! The song "For Future
Generations" is heard on secular radio..wow!!! Andy has
really nailed this song, great job!! I luv the cd starter
song "Wings" and the follow up "The Nature of Love". I
really like the title song "Ride of Life"; great number
guys!! "Real Thing" and cd closer "Love Finds You" are also
cd faves. This has got to be one of the group's top cd's. I
also have the video that sports many of the songs from this
cd. GOD Bless! -Don
