Literally coming out of nowhere, FFH and their major-label debut, I Want to Be Like You, took the contemporary Christian music industry by storm during the first half of 1999. CCM radio jumped all over "One of These Days," as well as the title track, indicating the immense accessibility of this foursome. Similar to Duncan Sheik's light-rock stylings, there's a free and easy feel on this release that won't confine the limited vocal range of lead singer/songwriter Jeromy Deibler. Plus, he's ably supported in that area by bandmates Jennifer Deibler, Brian Smith, and Steve Croyle. Longtime FFH fans will recognize the novelty of "Big Fish," an independent hit for the band several years back. The album takes on a stronger praise-and-worship vein in the latter half, buoyed by "Wholly to You" and the concluding "Power in His Blood." Overnight success? Sure, but seven years of touring and singing is one long night. This band has made itself ready with I Want to Be Like You. --Michael Lyttle

5.0 out of 5 stars What A CD!, December 6, 1999

By	Mark Redfern (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews

FFH is an incredible band! There message is totally focused on Christ and about giving all the Glory to God. The songs are extremely catchy and the lyrics are straight TO the heart. This album really challenges and encourages Christians to, like Proverbs says, lean not on your own understanding, but to trust in an AWESOME GOD! This is a great album to witness with! FFH is certainly making headway in Christian music, and this CD shows exactly why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally commited to sharing Christ, December 20, 1999

By A Customer

After my family attended a concert by FFH they became one of our favorite groups. They have a great sound, but more importantly a real love for Christ. I truely believe their main goal is to share the gospel with everyone they come in contact with. They are one of the few groups I know of that appeals to all age levels . They are a group that a whole family can enjoy together.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth Your Time, March 22, 2001

By	A. Rains "My name is Jasper but this stupid '... (Currently trapped in Maine) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It took a while for this cd to grow on me but was instantly one of my wife's favorite. I enjoy ONE OF THESE DAYS and think it is a great song. BIG FISH is a lot of fun. My only concern with the cd is when the female takes the lead vocals. She is a little too nasely for me. But he album overall is very good and you should add it to your collection!
