Steve continues the success he achieved with Big Tent Revival in his first solo project. Great songs - the depth and heart is quite evident. Great sound - I personally love the acoustic guitar. I recommend highly (as I do his Big Tent Revival material) This could be another award nominee!!!

This is a really great album. I highly recommend it. It's not flashy or overdone; it's just mellow rock with honest and heartfelt lyrics, the kind of music you can listen to at any time, however you are feeling. If you are sad, this music will help lift your spirits up and remind you of what's important, to always be "living for the Lord." He has visited my church several times as a guest artist, and he is great live, too!

As the songwriter for Big Tent Revival, Steve Wiggins was a songwriter extraordinaire. His shift from popular Christian music with depth to a more personal, "praise" centered sound has left me dissapointed.

Track six "Living for the Lord" is as solid as anything he ever wrote for Big Tent. Unfortunately, this CD lacks the cleverness and double entendre so prevalent in his earlier writing.

My guess is that Steve abandoned skillful, adroit songwriting because he felt it focused more attention on the songwriter instead of the Lord. His heart is in the right place.

If Wiggins next CD returns to his God-given songwriting talents, it is a guaranteed 5 stars. Until then, 3 stars is all I can give his post-Big Tent effort.
