Based in Brighton, Michigan, Dr Varnado has a desire to reach out to all those who need a touch from God. Her back sleeve describes this 2004 released CD as "A variety of faith gospel songs to heal the broken-hearted, set the captives free and give deliverance to all who hear it." Pretty strong statement, which is backed up by some powerful songs none more so than on the song "Let Jesus Squeeze The Hurt Out Of You". Taking the title and opening song from the Gospel of Mark she encourages the listener to be "I'm A Whosoever". And on "Covered" Dr Varnado encourages us with the fact that "Jesus has got our backs". Although the lyrics are inspiring, there is nothing that stands out musically but that doesn't mean that it is unpleasant. All in all it achieves what the good doctor intended it to do.
