Unselfish in his approach to letting his Blue Angels colleagues take the musical limelight in previous releases, the sixth instalment of his remastered prison ministry recordings allows US singer/songwriter Tony Loeffler to finally take centre stage. Originals such as a Latin-tinged "Finish Line", "Sweet Love", "Bright Light" and this volume's title track sound more accomplished than before whilst the altar call at the end sees Loeffler on fire for God as he passionately offers up the chance for his inmate audience to have their wretched lives changed forever. Guitarist Wayne Scott Farley has another go at Police's "Message In A Bottle" and saxophonist Linda Salisbury gives a soulful rendition of the old hymn "What A Friend We Have In Jesus" but it is Loeffler's talents, compassion and desire to see every last prisoner saved that shines the brightest.
