Thankfully, there has been something of a step to keep a small portion of Russ Taff's material available. The fact that Taff's albums "Walls of Glass" "Medals," "The Way Home" (his true masterpiece) and "Under Their Influence" are not in print is a crime. This all points up the scandalously short-term nature of the CCM industry from stem to stern. There is NO sense of history or heritage in the genre--not among the fans, they would love to see this remedied--but from the record company execs on through to the radio stations. The CCM industry's motto should be "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" Granted, this is a problem in the music business in general, but nowhere is it worse than in the CCM sector. How rare it is to hear any songs older than 3-4 years in most CCM formats, to say nothing of the complete disregard of anything older than, say, the late '80s. Until this is changed, we're not going to be able to get our hands on great music from the likes of a talent like Russ Taff.

I can't imagine anyone else singing some of the same songs that Russ Taff sings on this album. I listened to some of his albums many times in the past. It's high time I added Russ to my CD collection! My favs are "I Still Believe", "The River Unbroken" (on his "The Way Home" album), "Winds of Change", etc. If you want to shop around, try christianbook.com, as well.

The song "We Will Stand" is great! Where can I find the sheet music or book? Please answer this question, I couldn't find another place to e-mail you with it.

I too am awaiting "Medals" on CD. This collection will suffice til then as it contains some of that awesome collection and more from a great music communicator....ROCK SOLID!

I first started listening to Russ when he was with the Imerials. When he started out on his own his music inspired me. Now 15 years later I am so glad he has decided to throw his hat back into the contempory christian music scene. I am hoping once his new cd comes out his "Medals" and "Walls of Glass" cd's will be re-released. His greatest hits cd is just a small sampling of just how gifted he truly is. He is even better live and in concert. Would anybody know how I would go about getting my hands on his first 2 solo cd's? I have them on albums but I certainly would love to have them on cd.

I am totally a russ fan. he has such a gift and I feel blessed to have his music and listen to it often. Buy one of his cd's and I'm sure you will agree. his rough voice does him justice especially the older he gets.

Russ Taff was the man of CCM in the 80's and early 90's. This cd is a good sampling of his work, but the Imperials tracks are on the Legacy compilation and the there is room left for other hits such as I'm Not Alone, Breathe Life Into Me, Shake, Simple Song For A Mighty God or anything off of Under the Influence. But this will still give you a taste of his key years since these cds are out of print now.

Russ Taff was the beginning inspiration into this family's Contemporary Christian Music listening. This CD is about as good as it gets, but we want MEDALS. The tape is worn out and I can't replace, would love a CD. When will we here more from Russ?

few artist, if any, move my soul as russ taff does.his voice is rich and clear so there is no mistaking what russ is trying to communuicate. "walk between too lines", "i cry", "i still beieve", is worth buying the whole album for. i wish "walls of glass" and "russ taff", would be re-released on cd.
