​ABOUT THE ALBUM

WRITTEN ON THE WIND
(Good News  Records, 1977)

"WRITTEN ON THE WIND" was a real departure for you as an artist, wasn't it?"

It was a planned departure from my previous work.  My previous albums consisted of more subjective, evangelistically oriented songs. These earlier songs were what I call "Christian propaganda" (no slam intended.) Songs which had a direct evangelistic message and reflected the details of my personal experiences in the Lord. 

"Was this something you felt you wanted to do as an artist?"
With "Written On The Wind," I wanted to create an album which reflected my message in a more artistic way.   I had been writing some songs which had taken a look at some important events in the Bible, and reflected on them from an outside perspective: the agony and ecstasy it must have been to be the mother of Jesus, the Crucifixion and Resurrection of the Lord, the future as reported in the book of Revelations. 

"Yet, there are moments on "Written On The Wind" that are simple 'slices of life' written from a Christian perspective, more so than as a tool of evangelism or a personal proclamation of devotion to The Lord... "

I  had written a song about a loser type guy (Plain Ol' Joe,) and then a song about the harvest of souls (Harvest Time,) and all of these songs seemed to mesh together to create quite a different album for me.  So different in fact, that when the album was first released, sales were dramatically slow, and I thought that I had my first "bomb" on my hands. But as time went on, I guess the buzz was good, as sales picked up.  Eventually the album sold as well as my others.

"This album is extremely textured and sounds almost big or grand in many ways.  It's not simple rock and roll.  Was this a part of the plan?"

The production on this album was a bit different than my previous work.  I leaned more toward some more "epic" sounding arrangements, which I felt celebrated the grandeur of a few of the songs.  

"Yet, it worked well for you.  It's still one of my favorites..." 

One  reason I feel that people liked this album so much is that I played my own piano. I am not the greatest player on earth, but I have a feel for my own songs that is unique. For that reason, I feel that this album is the most "me" of any of my previous work.  Through the years, this album has emerged as my most sought after, and thankfully, is finally remastered and re-released on digital delivery sites like iTunes and Amazon.
