Classy female pop gospel singers are thick on the ground in the US but Cheri's second release shows an assured singing and songwriting talent who, given much assistance by production maestro Charlie Peacock, makes an album brim full of melodic hooks, jangling guitars, rich BVs and lyrics which are consistently devotional largely inspired from Scripture. A leap forward from her first album, which had one or two below par tracks, 'My Faith Will Stay' could well establish Cheri as a major US CCM artist.

Cheri is paving her way into the ccm genre with this 2nd
release by the Spring of 96. Cd title begins it all, awesome
intro to the song, great bgvs to include ccm artist Brent
Bourgeois who assisted on her debut, and the soft vocals of
Tabitha Fair. I love this starter song, great ccm quality,
style & lyrics.
The listener will note that the music for these songs has
that familiar ccm sound. Keep On Shinin' keeps up the pace
of top ccm sound; btw the song was co-written with ccm
pioneer Randy Stonehill & has hit written on it. "Lay It
Down" is becoming a familiar ccm song title , newcomer
Jennifer Knapp would enter the ccm scene with a song of same
title in 2000. Every song deserves a well pleasing comment.
Sweet Peace Of God is another I fell in love with when I
heard it, it's top notch ccm, thank you Cheri for this God
sent song. Chorus on "He Will Look After You"
will stick with you, this is what it's meant to do.
Heavenly Father is another title that is synonymous
in ccm, who could forget Billy Sprague's 84 hit. What a
nice prayerful song for believers to sing. Another great
chorus on "The Love Of God", it sticks!
Closer "In Remembrance Of Me" puts it all into perspective,
things that believers should not forget.
I recommend you invest into this cd, full of great ccm
styled songs, wtg Cheri you've really climbed aboard the ccm
gospel train, so glad that you did.
Charlie Peacock found a gemm for ccm.
God bless, Don
