What do you do when you've got a famous dad who pastors a Dallas megachurch? You do your own thing to prove yourself, so you're not always thought of as "the son of so and so." Well, Anthony Evans, son of Dr Tony Evans, founder and president of the internationally syndicated radio and TV program The Urban Alternative and senior pastor of the 7,000 member Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas, tries his hand at 13 pop/R&B songs that he wrote (or co-wrote) on his nice-but-not-extraordinary debut. Yes, he's a capable singer, but, sorry, he just doesn't emotionally connect with the listener on this album. Maybe he will on future albums. For now, Evans should concentrate on his current gig: singing backup for Kirk Franklin.
