This may be Greg Long's first solo project but his song writing talent may already be known to you, he co-wrote a track on Pam Thum's debut album ('I've Never Known Love'). On the first listen, the excellent production (by John and Dino Elefante) shines through along with the slightly Chris de Burgh-tinged vocals. It takes several auditions before you encounter the WOW factor, the kind that makes you go and hug the speakers!! There are excellent songs on the album full of encouraging words to go on in the Christian walk, one of which ("How Long"), a duet with Margaret Becker, has already proved itself in the US Christian charts. Pam Thum also helps with the song writing on "Hope In The Night". So, an album well worth checking out but be prepared to listen a few times to appreciate this man's talents.

What a great debut cd! The writer above left out some top
notch songs in his review; especially the great radio hit
"What a Friend". The first time I heard "What a Friend" on
the radio, I knew this was a cd I had to buy. The cd
opener, "Think About JESUS" grabs the listener's attention.
The wonderful collaboration with CCM songstress Margaret
Becker on "How Long" is memorable hi-light on the cd. "All
is Well" and "Faith Can Light a Candle" are among some of my
favorites as well. I also like "Friend to You" which is the
cd closer. Great song writing talents contained on this cd;
way to go Greg Long!!
GOD Bless! -Don
