The first single is a great song, but my early favorites have to be "Every Man" and "Slow Fade". "Slow Fade" deals with the gradual slide away from God. Nobody falls away instantly and once you realize that it has happened, it is tough to look back and see a defining point.
Mark Hall doesn't shy away from making a point with "What this world needs", which is a little more upbeat than we are used to hearing from the band, but intros the album nicely.

If you have not heard of these guys by now, you need to! Leeland and his brother Jack have a wonderful gift for songwriting. The songs are easy to sing along to, but very deep spiritually. "Tears of the Saints" is best heard live, where Leeland's emotion pours through more clearly. "Hey" is a funky little toe tapper about discovering God's love.
If you want to hear more of Leeland's songwriting skills, pick up Michael W. Smith's "Stand" as he co-wrote quite a few songs on that cd.

I was skeptical at first when I heard a sample of this album, but I must admit that as I continued listening, I found myself tapping my toes and swaying to the music. It is nearly impossible to listen to the first track "Sit Down Servant" without wanting to get up and do a little dance around the room! Mr. Farris does a great job on old traditionals like, "Oh Mary Don't You Weep" and "Precious Lord, Take My Hand", but he is at his best with his personal testimony song "The Lonely Road" and the mysterious sounding "Devil Don't Sleep".
A highly entertaining artist that, unfortunately, will probably not receive very much mainstream airplay.
