Free Music Notes for Unguarded
Free Music Review: Years Later, Still Listening
Hit: 5 Stars
I first got this album on cassette back in 1985. I loved it then, and listened to it often. As the years passed, the cassette got misplaced, and outdated, and I now have this on mp3. After all this time, it's still an awesome album. Free Music Review: First Cross Over

Many casual listeners mistakenly believe "Heart In Motion" was Amy's first pop crossover album. Nope. It was this one.
Light years removed from her previous acoustic sounds and soft-pop feel, "Unguarded" was a masterfully produced turbo-charged bombshell that forever altered not only Amy's career but Contemporary Christian Music as well. From the first blasts of the first track, it shattered every pre-conceived notion about Amy to millimicrons.
With singles aggressively cross-marketed to pop radio and Amy's first Top 40 hit ("Find a Way"), it was a litmus test for many's idea of genuine faith. Conservatives considered her a sell-out who was using her God-given talent, her beautiful face, and inoffensive lyrics to lead young people into a false sense of spiritual security. Moderates were secretly anxious to see how well the album was received but mindful to observe her public integrity. Liberals were saying ... well, they didn't say much. They were listening to Huey Lewis.
Every pop success enjoyed by Amy or any other Christian crossover artist (from Michael W. Smith to Jars of Clay) can be traced to this album - which still holds up well today.
