In the seventies, Richie Furay stopped running and finally found spiritual rest when he became a Christian. Career-wise, he'd helped shape the sound of country rock with his band Poco and then formed the supergroup The Southern Hillman Furay band which, despite its musician pedigree, failed to hit the commercial big time. Signing as a solo act with Asylum Records, the newly saved Furay gathered together a set of top Christian musicians and formed his own band. The feel of his new faith influences all the songs on this 1976 album and comes through particularly strongly on the yearning title cut and the excellent "Mighty Maker". The brooding opener "Look At The Sun" catches the great vibe as Furay's guitar and vocals are augmented by some excellent keyboard work from Tom Stipe. These are catchy, well constructed songs and Furay is in fine voice. From the autobiographical "We'll See" to the country romp of "Getting Through", this still sounds great 35 years later. Guest appearances from Al Perkins, Steve Cropper and Michael Omartian only add to the quality.
