5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars but NOT "Best Of", February 19, 2007

By	Craig Payne (Ottumwa, Iowa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Anything this good by Russ Taff gets five stars, of course. However, this recording will be appreciated more by his new fans than those who knew him before the Gaither Vocal Band times. Taff has always been the greatest male gospel vocalist I've ever heard, with a rock / blues / folk intensity that has to be heard to be believed. Having said all that, this recording is COMPLETELY MISNAMED. It is the best of the "new" Russ Taff. If you really want to hear the "best of Russ Taff" (and don't mind a lot of aggressive rock / country rock guitar in the mix), skip immediately over to "The Way Home," in my opinion one of the top five Christian rock / pop recordings ever. Or you could pick up "We Will Stand--Yesterday and Today," which is the "best of" collection of the "other" Russ Taff (and which includes several songs from "The Way Home"). "We Will Stand" also has many early songs, including some from the Imperials years as well as the anthem-like title track. Now I realize that this review is more about other Taff recordings than about this one being reviewed. However, I just didn't want anyone fooled by the title. If you saw Russ on a Gaither television show and want that style--this recording is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars For old and new Russ Taff fans, April 16, 2003

By	Brian Burke "Brian" (Oregon City, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is a must for any Russ Taff fan. All the songs are songs from his past except for one new song. Any of his previous recording are redone so that all sound great. This isn't as rocky as some of his older stuff, but this gives you a chance to hear his great voice.

I listen to this CD all the time. He is so talented and a true man of his faith in our Lord.
