Worth the wait!, May 25, 2009
Last year when I heard Lou Gramm was working on a new Christian album, I could hardly wait to hear it! I was pleasantly surprised that Amazon had it available for download before the actual CD came out. Gramm has been through the wringer health-wise but his voice sounds fantastic! All of the songs on this album have a great message! As a Foreigner fan, I loved the songs "Made to be Broken" and "Baptized by Fire" the best. The worshipful "So Great" gave me goosebumps. "You Saved Me" has such a tender melody and lyrics that it makes me cry every time I play it. I'm just thrilled with this whole album.

We Are Happy & so Pleeased!, June 6, 2009
Realizing that this isn't the '70's or '80's anymore, and it isn't Foreinger either,
It's The Lou Gramm Band!
Being a Sound Tech, I judge music by it's quality of content, musicianship, and overall vocal performance, and it's ability to move you, to make you feel good.
It's either good or bad, and The Lou Gramm CD is good! (GR8 to me)
You can't compare Lou to his old days, or when he was in Foreinger, for those days are passed.
What you can compare is if he's still got it, and the answer is...yes!
This CD might not please everyone because it is Christian Rock, which makes no never mind to me, for I am a Christian as well as a Rocker, but rock this does, so when I heard this CD, it just made my day!
To hear Lou Gramm singing his own album, his own music again and Praising God as well, was well worth the wait...and it has been a wait.
I am a Foreinger fan and have Lou's two solo and Shadow King CD's and have been following him thru the years till now, waiting for this moment...and it has finally arrived...Yeah!
Lou Gramm Band CD might not win any grammies, but that's not why I listen to music.
I do hope it gets some air time, whether on Christian radio stations or secular. One thing is certain, It will definatley be getting air time on my system, that's for sure!
Lou Gramm Band CD is such a fresh new prospective, especially for Christian Rock, and Lou's voice is still kicking (we all know he's been thru quite allot and he's older now)
I just got the chills when I popped it into the CD player and started listening.
Give it a chance, a real chance..sorry if you're not into Christian Rock, but if you are a "REAL" Lou Gramm fan, then you won't be disappointed.
I sure wasn't. Very satisfied.
WAY TO GO..Lou! Rock On Dude!

What a surprise!, June 17, 2009
I am a Lou Gramm fan - have been since the 70's. I love Foreigner, Shawow King, and Lou's solo LP's. I ordered this CD based on his name alone - that's how good I think he is. I didn't know anything about the CD, the band members, or the songs. When I received the CD from Amazon yesterday, I just about exploded with joy when I heard the lyrics. What a surprise! I did not know that Lou is a follower of Christ. I am so excited about this! I'm excited for him AND for me. I love music, but there aren't many "Christian" artists that inspire me.
I guess my only complaint about the CD is the production. I'm super picky when it comes to production, mixing, and engineering. I'm not a professional, but I do have some experience with it. I'd love to get my hands on the masters and remix this CD. I think it has the potential to sound better.
Thanks for the great CD Lou. I hope there are many more to come!
