This album is actually from 2005 and before that there were six others and Nathan was voted 2006 Australian Christian Music Artist Of The Year. He has endorsements from credible people from the music business such as his legendary producer Charlie Peacock, Scott Dente and Michael Card. His music is acoustic pop rock and it is all played excellently enough. In my opinion he fits in well with the hundreds of other similar sounding acts that emerge from Nashville without ever really standing out. I have to be honest. I have listened to the album a few times and the only song that registered is the opener, "Like You Love Me". The rest just blend into one. I even gave it to my wife whose tastes are very much more middle of the road than mine and she said she was unimpressed too.
