Title: This is a really good sophomore release by Chris Rice.
Review: Normally, sophomore releases (second CDs) by an artist are not all that good. That's mostly because the first work released represents a lifetime of writing by the artist, while the second work is usually produced under the pressure of a deadline -- not the most conducive atmosphere to creativity. This CD is, however, an exception. This work is very good. Production and arrangement-wise, it's superior to his first work. Lyrically, it's at least as good. Vocally, he's singing in top David Wilcox-Paul Simon form. Best cuts include "The Power Of The Moment," "Big Enough," "And Your Praise Goes On," and "Wind And Spirit." It's a throughly enjoyable, restful musical treat.
