The Next Big Thing (2020)

This is the album that I was making at the same time that I was making "Don't Ask Me". Like all of my albums it is stylistically quite diverse, but the main styles are retro 80's Rock & Pop Rock. It kicks off with the bombastic 80's Rock Anthem "My God" (video on YT) and is followed by my updated cover of Uriah Heep's early 70's smash hit song "Easy Livin'"

It's followed by the rocker "The Maker of My Heart", then hits on punk pop with the great track "4U". Track 5, "So Help Me God" is a cleverly written standout. Track 7 is a duet on the 18th century hymn "Come Thou Fount" with my niece Macey Hawout (her favorite hymn!).

Track 8, "We Don't Change The Truth, It Changes Us" is a commentary on the modern culture and a statement on how a true encounter with the Lord of the Universe can completely change your life. "Waited a Lifetime" is a song about a man who is confronted with the truth of the Bible but who waits his whole life before accepting Christ. I also hope to do a video for this one in the future.

"Your Time Has Come" is a highly evangelistic song that I will soon be releasing a video for. My plan is to translate the lyrics and the many scriptures on the screen to different languages and target different countries on social media with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The video has a statement about Christianity at the beginning and an invitation to accept Christ into your heart at the end.

The 2 bonus tracks at the end of the album ("His Life" & "Exalted One") were written by Terry Lavalliere. I was in The Trinity band with Terry 20 years ago. Terry had many health issues and had a stroke not long after he was able to get into the studio to record the guitar part on "His Life". He passed away a few months later. All the original members of The Trinity Band were able to come in and record their parts on these songs.

I am very happy with the way this CD turned out & I am hoping that you will check it out and enjoy it and allow it to speak to your heart!
