I have no problem admitting what a great album that is. I'll admit she's
released many songs that fall into the superfluous pop realm but when Amy
bears down she can write some great songs. I recall an interview with
Charlie Peacock where he said it may be the top CCM album in his opinion.
I also like "Behind the Eyes." It's a very sad album, but the songs are
so very real.
Also, thumbs up for mentioning Rick Elias. That album may be one of my
favorites. Talk about another underrated songwriter.
If I was to pick my favorite songs "Circle of Quiet" would be up there. I
love the live version on Amateur Shortwave Radio and Ric's version on
Blink is wonderful too.
By the way I just got Kim Taylor's new CD last week. "So Clack, So
Bright" is quite beautiful. Linford plays bass on one song and Karin
sings on it. I think her website is www.kim-taylor.net. It's well worth
checking out.
