Free Music Notes for I'll Lead You Home
Free Music Review: I wait for Kingdom come...
Hit: 5 Stars
Somewhere around Hickory, NC on August 10, 1998, i was going on my first trip with out Church's youth group and this album got played. Never heard ANYTHING from Contemporary Christian Genre, but I loved this. "Cry For Love" starts off the album with the energy of a big race starting (actually the lyrics mention a race car going for the wall at the speed of sound) and
Then there's "Breakdown", the most striking indictment of our Countries' Moral State I've heard (Our Founding Fathers left a noble legacy, LOOK at what we've done...If We say that we are FREE, who will believe us?)
From there, the album slows a bit, 'til you get to "Someday" that is almost certainly my favorite song from this Genre. Michael throws out every problem from that era (and yes the references to "The Kennedy Conspiracy, The Trial of O.J." seem a bit dated now) then says (in my own words) "It's a crazy life, but someday Jesus comes back and sets everything right!" But honestly this songs' best trait is the energy of it's two verses (I set a speed record on my bike listening to thsi once)
In contrast the next song "I'll be around" is cool, but slower. I'm not sure if he's singing from Jesus' perspective (ala "I Know All About Scars" from Stories (which I have no problem with) or jsut as another friend....but VERY uplifting for wanyone whose stumbled on this straight and narrow way. well those are my Fav.s from this album, Very Good Effort from Michael though I think his best work was on "Freedom" (probably jsut my taste in music thoguh)
Free Music Review: Brilliant, but Still the Poorest MWS Album
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful thoughtful album that every Christian should be able to apprieciate. It is artisically great, musically blissfull, and lyricaly bold and evangilistic.
That said, this is surely Michael's weakest offering. I have about seven, and this is my least favorite.

This is some of the most touching music from an absolutely wonderful artist. When I first heard this album I was disappointed in Michael W. Smith for putting out such a low key collection. After all the pre-release hype I thought I had gotten ripped off. It wasn't until much later, and I was a few years older that I could truly appreciate this album for the beauty that inside. Give this album a shot. If you don't like it wait a few years and try it again. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.Free Music Review: One of His Best!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'll Lead You Home is a nice transition for Michael W. Smith from his more upbeat cds targeted more towards younger listeners. While I have enjoyed his other cds, I particularly enjoyed this one.The collection contains more reflective songs appropriate for Christian meditation. My personal favorites include: Crown Him With Many Crowns, Calling Heaven, I'll Lead You Home, The Other Side of Me, Breath In Me, Angels Unaware, and I'm Waiting for You.
While the above are my favorites, the other songs are good also. All in all, a highly recommened buy! Buy and enjoy!
Free Music Review: Good from any perspective
Hit: 5 Stars
I've skirted in and out of spirituality, and this album has always inspired me, and if nothing else, served as quality entertainment. The vocals are improved over Smith's past works, and there seems to be more production to his sound. If you're looking for a CD with more than one good song, this is a great choice - there are numerous songs that have become favorites of mine, and they are all highly powerful songs you can connect with.
