Not only does this album distill the best of Bob Carlisle's
Diadem albums - with his big hit "Butterfly Kisses" front and center but three new songs are included. One of these songs "You're Beautiful" is worth the cost of admission itself.

Unlikely anyone that I can think of, Bob Carlisle presents the position of the father in his lyrics. On almost everyone of these songs there is this reoccurring theme of fatherhood.

It is masterfully displayed in a song like "Butterfly Kisses" but it also appears in songs like "Father's Love" and
"A Man of His Word". Most profoundly however it speaks of the unconditional love a father has for his child in this new song "You're Beautiful".

Listen to this and I dare you not to get a bit emotional.

Honsetly, I purchased this CD for my husband. Father's Day morning I popped the CD in and let him listen to Butterfly Kisses. As our daughter raced around the house in her pink tutu, we listened to the poignant words and shared a few sniffles.

A moving and uplifting cd about the things that really matter in life.

Last year our baby girl, 23 years old, was married in an outside ceremony and we had a live butterfly release that was truely beautiful. The father/daughter dance was at the beginning of the reception and Bob's touching song "Butterfly Kisses" was played. There was not a dry eye watching. It was wonderful and emotional. Her father and I always gave her butterfly kisses at night.

I am blown away from this album! I definetly recommend it for everyone. It is a spiritual album of totally different sounds. I was shocked at the different sounds & had to take it out of cd player to make sure it was the same cd. I have enjoyed this album so much.
