Recent albums and concert tours have seen Al Denson promoted into the CCM Premier League in the US of A. So congratulations to those discerning execs at Nelson Word who thought it was about time we got to hear his stuff. If you like things in a Michael W Smith sort of vein, you'll love this! This is a classy album, from the slow opening build of the title song through to the closer "Draw Me Near", you get poppy grooves, sweet harmonies and those hooky choruses that grab your brain and reel it in!! Lyrically, the album is uplifting and encouraging without stooping to tweeness. Denson's soulful voice sounds great whether he's wrapping his tonsils round the funk of a song like "Say It With Love" or pleading with the listener to experience the transforming love of God on "Nothing In All Of The World". My current fave is the perfect pop celebration of "Living In The Light Of Your Love" which helps me to feel good about being alive. To be honest, if I was you I'd play safe, get this album before it gets you!!! I

I went snowskiing with a group in 1985 and Al Denson was in the group. We met a couple that flew in on a charter jet and took a lady to cook Breakfast and Dinner that wanted to go but didn't want to Ski. I remember Al took a girlfriend and this was prior to his accident. Would love to touch base with him again.

Al Denson had been releasing projects years before I had heard anything by him on ccm radio. Before I had purchased this cd, I had heard the song "Be the One"; it caught my attention. In late 1993 I had heard ccm airwaves play "I Know A Love"; a very nice ballad. When I played this cd, I immediately luved the pop styled "Living in the Light of YOUR Love"; what pick-me-upper song!! Great song Al!!It wasn't long afterwards that, ccm radio played the song.
This cd is a nice addition to the ccm 90's sound.
GOD Bless! -Don
