Much loved worship leader follows up highly successful solo CCM album 'All My Dreams' with this selection of country based pop tunes housed in the same street as Brian Barrett's current musical activities. The White One has a pleasant pop voice and the skill to write pop tunes that glide perfectly across the space between speaker and the ear. Sadly once they get there, they go in one ear and out the other without there being much to grab you. The lyrics are in the general vicinity of inspirational, it's beautifully packaged and played but like a bland meal, I am hungry for something with a bit more substance to feed me. I suppose what I am trying to say is that it's...erm...well...boring actually. There, I've said it! I listened a few times and I was bored. Okay? I wanted to like it because Mr Le Blanc has worked hard and I dare say it'll sell squillions in the States where there are whole radio stations dedicated to playing this lightweight fluff 24 hours a day but I wouldn't listen to it unless it was 3am and I couldn't sleep.
