Comment:	After releasing some of the best loved CCM music heard on ccm radio, we get a taste of the center of it all, "the music"by late November of 2000. This is music from the inner most depths of Michael's heart dedicated to the passing of a woman named Carol Ann Lee, and her family. When your ears are tuned in and nothing else is there to interupt, a peace fills the air. The listener can pick up on the stirred emotions by the time the tune of "The Giving" is heard. Michael's touch upon the piano keys reveal some of the best pulled heartstring emotions. Michael recruits musicians from Dublin and they come alive with joyous sound on "Hibernia". "The Call" has very striking appeal, a nice pop feel that moves you as you hear it. As the cd is nearing a close a very familiar tune hits the ears that takes the listener back in time. The top collaborated masterpiece "Thy Word" he wrote with top CCM artist Amy Grant, released on Amy's 1984 top seller lp "Straight Ahead". The listener can almost imagine dancing around the fields of freedom found in heaven upon hearing the closer " Free Man". Those in heaven know the freedom that we on earth long for. We shall see them soon. Thank you Michael for giving us a taste of freedom that calls from the other side. The above writer has left out the music review & the talents of Michael W. Smith and his music. God bless, Don
