The best yet from the new country man thanks to a magnificent set of songs and arrangements which are light as eiderdown fusing plaintive pedal steels and delicate picking with unexpected pop hooks in a coherent and eminently accessible mix of influences. Highlights are a plea for his Dad to find time in his busy schedule ("One Of These Days"), an achingly poignant reminder that young lust isn't the same as love ("Love Waits") and a touching song on the timeless theme of forgiveness ("The Power Of Forgiveness"). Similar in feel and direction to Gary Chapman's latest, 'Where Love Runs Deep' can only further contribute to the re-emergence of country into the CCM arena.

In June of 1995 we are blessed to hear another recording by
the gifted singer/songwriter/guitarist.
The first half of the songs are on the calm side, to include
the title song: first song I heard on ccm radio. I love
the uptempo "In the Midst of YOUR Love"; great ccm! Top
female vocalist Ashley Cleveland accents bgvs on "Love
Waits"; it is awesome what she can add to a song. I love
"The Power of Forgiveness"; WHAT A SONG!! I hear a touch of
"Shoulder to the Wind" sounds on "A Promise To Keep". The
beautiful ballad "My Heart Knows Its Way Home" was the
perfect closer.
I HAVE NOT SEEN A GREATEST HITS FROM MICHAEL, IS THERE ONE
AVAILBLE? GOD Bless! -Don
ps. what's Michael been up to these days? is there anything
since the 1995 where love runs deep?
