This top country artist serves us with another ccm
recording; this one in late '95 (around Dec. if I recall).
This one came after her departure from 1/3 of the countrified trio "Heirloom" ( I luv their stuff too).
"Something Purer Than Gold" reminds me of the sound of her time with Heirloom "Apples of Gold".
Barbara co-wrote this song & 3 others. You can hear another member of Heirloom on some #'s, Tanya Goodman Sykes, & her husband Michael.
I love the honesty in Barbara's vocals, her words reach. "Broken Believer" will reach deep to those who let it. The title song was written by Bill & Gloria Gaither's 3 children, Ben, Amy & Suzanne. They were making their mark in CC with the group "Benjamin": by this time they had released 2 projects.
"Stories" is quite the reminiscent song, it will spark other memories. Just listen to those country strings on "Until the Last Child Has Come Home": the perfect fit for Barbara's vocal style. "He's a Mighty Good Friend" is a great gospel clapper.
Top country artist Glen Campbell joins in the songwriting & singing with Barbara on "Jezebel": Glen had already made his ccm mark with the song,
"JESUS & Me" in '91. The cd closer "Casting Stones" is filled with so many words we have all heard.
"Until the Last Child Has Come Home" may have been a better closer.
Many thanks to Maxine of crossrhythms for getting this cd on the list. GOD Bless! -Don
