Graham O'Leary is a man with a remarkable testimony! Having suffered the most dreadful abuse as a younger man, it was only the experience of emotional healing that came directly from God that changed his life and brought a lasting peace and stability in his life. After years of hiding what had really happened, Graham now shares his testimony and sings songs of great joy and thankfulness. These songs have been gathered onto 'Solid Rock' which was produced in Lincoln at DB Studios. The result is a selection of songs that have plenty of melody and a gentle pop sound. The lyrics are vertical, worshipful and as you expect, full of thanks, hope and inspiration. Standouts include the catchy understated groove and guitar of "I Am So In Love With You" and the challenge of the title song which completes the album. This is a selection of songs that really minister and encourage.
