In the mid '90s this American singer recorded a couple of killer albums for the Christian label Forefront. But prior to that the songsmith recorded for A&M and this is his debut for the mainstream label from 1990. Fans of his later work will immediately recognise the powerful voice which ranges from a rasping whisper to a powerful roar. Also in place is the well crafted songwriting, strong memorable melodies and rock style that integrated elements of blues and country. From the third millennium standpoint, some of the production is a little dated and as you'd expect from a mainstream release, the more obvious spiritual songwriting of his Forefront albums isn't yet in place. But there is plenty here to get stuck into. There's the huge opener "True Love", the more romantic "The Rose And The Fire" and the edgy rocking "Slip Away". Ultimately Anderson is one of the great under-rated singer/songwriters of his generation and those wanting to hear a great talent should track down this and his other releases.

Having first encountered the name Michael Anderson as the writer of the smash US country hit "Maybe It Was Memphis" and been heartened to note that (a) he's a -"believer and (b) Nelson Word are ' doing a little promotion by offering this, and the Keith Brown debut, at £1.50 off the usual price. It's well worth taking up the offer. Despite his Nashville songwriter roots, country music is a flavour rather than a direction; this is a set of acoustic-based songs but with a rootsy punchy rhythm section.The overall feel reminds one of a cross between John Prine and Mike Peters on a good day, the songs are exceptionally crafted managing to be full of non-cool words like God and Jesus but with no hint of the high cliché count that ruins many overt albums.Some luminaries in the tough backing band (Jerry McPherson, Ed DeGarmo)And An album which will reward anyone who checks out.

1-LOVE IS THE HARD PART
2-I KNOW IS NOT THE RAIN

4-SHOT DOWN
5-SOUL MAN MYSELF
6-BE NOT AFRAID
7-REVIVAL
8-NO EASY WAY
9-FIGHTING TO SURRENDER
10-DAVID'S HARP
11-THE POST MODERN SOUL ANTENNA
His debut album 'Saints And Sinners' was very good but it was his brilliant rendition of Larry Norman's "Shot Down" (originally for the 'One Way' compilation and track four here) which announced to the CCM world that Michael Anderson was something special. His voice is a gritty, gutsy, world weary growl while the arrangements are meaty, full of shattering power chords, searing swirls of guitar and funky bottom. His lyrics bite deep into their subject too. Here, he is eschewing the shallow sloganeering of some of his Nashville contemporaries. Songs of faith and redemption ("In this world of compromise, Most people slowly die"), soul overcoming fear ("There's a candle in the window/There's a flame that burns for you/Though you're walking in the darkness/There's a light to see you through.") and a compelling piece of improvised atmosphere, "The Post Moderne Soul Antenna" vie for attention. My current faves are "Soul Man Myself" with its affectionate tribute to old Motown grooves, the blistering opener "Love Is The Hard Part" and a song "for poets, artists, musicians, revolutionaries, missionaries and other dreamers", "Revival". A thrilling album by a fine new rock songwriter/musician.

I have always been fans of Michael Anderson's expressive voice and strong songwriting. From his A&M material to the pair of CCM albums released in the '90s, there's no doubting the talent of the man. As a songwriter he's had huge hits in the mainstream with country star recording "Maybe It Was Memphis" and John Fogerty covering "No Love In You". Both of these songs are presented here along with a pile of Anderson originals. Recording at the intersection of rock, country and blues, it's always been Anderson's plaintive wail that emotes the his well penned lyrics.This is closer in style to his A&M material and I have no idea what the spiritual state of the man currently is but he's served a fine collection of songs that tell of love, loss and the struggles of a man. Overall this is a collection of songs that would sound fine in a packed, sweaty, smoky bar and for all I know that could be where Anderson is playing these days. Apart from the hits, there's plenty to enjoy from the blues of "Temptation (In A Little Black Dress)" and "Drive Daddy Drive" to the Americana of "Raymond Chandler Said" and the pure blues boogie of the dodgily titled "Cockrocket" (it's a car I think!) Anyway, after all these years, it is just good to have some new music from the man!

This hard rockin’ collection of post moderne country / blues is brought to you by singer / songwriter Michael Anderson. His original versions of “Maybe It Was Memphis” (Pam Tillis) and “No Love In You” (John Fogerty) are included here. This collection focuses on the style that brought his early success on his first two A&M records ("Sound Alarm" and "Michael Anderson")guitar based live rock and roll band delivery of great songs.loved his christian cds, a few years ago, and I love this one, really ! Bluesy voice with a top band, it's real Anderson as I'd like to find once more in the future
