5.0 out of 5 stars this does NOT sound like the Gaither Vocal Band, October 1, 2005

For some time now, Russ has been part of Bill Gaither's gospel quartet, singing for blue-heads who can appreciatively close their eyes and nod dreamily to tranquil renditions of old-timey standards. But on "The Way Home", the man is unrestrained--and the result is one of the most powerful vocal performances on record, bar none. An outstanding collection of rock/gospel songs, crowned by the gorgeous, accordion-and-reverb-guitar ballad, "I Cry."

5.0 out of 5 stars An enduring classic, November 12, 2007

The best recording by the best male gospel voice--anointed and heartfelt, if you don't mind some aggressive guitar here and there. IMHO, this is one of the top five rock / pop Christian recordings ever released, and it should be better known than it is.

P.S. A long time ago, Russ did a duet called "The God of Who I Am." It was a great song, but doesn't appear on any of his recordings, as far as I know. Any chance of that being released on some sort of collection?

If i could give him ten stars for this one i would. It's been in my collection for fifteen years and still gets played now and then. Somehow these songs remain fresh and timeless; one senses the artist's sincerity in this whole project, in every word he sings. How much of the music we listen to these days will still be relevant in five, ten, fifteen years? Say no more.
