5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Incredible, May 28, 2000

Fans of Michael W. Smith's "i(2)eye" and Amy Grant's "Lead Me On" and "Behind the Eyes" will love this album. Wayne has written songs for both of these artists, as well as many others. The music is very similar in style to the Garth Brooks/Chris Gaines CD. There are only a handful of songwriters in ANY genre of music that match Wayne's depth, sensitivity and ability to craft a great song.

It is a shame that this album is not being promoted as heavily as other new releases because it is so much deeper and more well-written than just about anything else you hear on the radio.

We often hear that music by Christian artists does not have as high a quality as "secular" artists, but this CD surpasses most of what's on Christian or secular radio. If you like "thinking person's music" then you will LOVE this CD.

Now, if we could just get a collaboration between the two greatest songwriters, Wayne K. and Steven Curtis Chapman...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresher then the sweet smell of freshly cut Maple wood, January 14, 2003

I first heard Wayne Kirkpatrick several months ago on Christian Radio K-Love. They played "It's Me Again" from the Rocket Town Sampler (a great cd I might add) and I was captured. What a fresh breath of air that was.
What I heard was a mix of the Beatles, Graham Nash, America, as well as British Pop. Definetly a touch of British magic in his sound with such smooth and vibrant vocals.
I don't usually like to compare Christian music to secular music but I find it is sometimes nessasary to help make that comparison.
This recording is a must whether you are a Christian like myself, or a non-Christian. Hope this sells tons of copies.
I really have a lot of respect for the freedom that Don Donahue and Micheal W. Smith have given to thier musicians over at Rockettown Records. Finally, a label that is willing to "let the tape roll."
Wayne, thanks for the great songs.
God bless you and I await impatiently for your next release.....Bob Plourde, Arizona

5.0 out of 5 stars Songwriting At Its Best!, November 26, 2001

Wayne is my favorite songwriter of all time and I am so thrilled to hear him singing his own material! The cd is just wonderful. The lyrics are insightful and really get to the heart of what is going on inside most of us - the doubts, the fears, the joys. A couple of songs are very reminiscent of Kenny Loggins while others are reminiscent of Garth Brooks' Chris Gaines (appropriate since Wayne wrote many tracks on that cd)! If you like really listening to and reading lyrics, this song is for you! No fluff, ingenious rhymes and unusual words not usually heard in music, but somehow he makes them work! He's a true songwriter's songwriter!
