There's a very thin line between artists demonstrating their natural stylistic eclectism gliding from genre to genre in a dazzling display of versatility and artists showing decided jump-on-the-bandwagon optimism being prepared to sing any musical style simply because they lack a passionate enough commitment. Sheila we all know has had several musical metamorphose already. Once she was a radical new waver. Then a friend of Cliff and recorder of user-friendly pop gospel. Then a product of Middle America religiosity singing everything-but-the-kitchen-sink arranged hymns for the lucrative 'inspirational' market. Now we're told she's singing the music she always wanted to, with a Celtic tinge and on the opening track "Heaven Is Holding Us Now" even bringing in a bagpipe player for a solo. But what of the music? I think its pretty good. There are plenty of tasty guests (including Russ Taff and Michael English), Chris Eaton knows a thing or seven about a song hook and his joint compositions with Sheila Walsh are strong and "Jennifer" which sounds like a Christian radio hit to my ears is a lovely, plaintive ballad.
