Produced by Chris Hester, Kevin Ward, and Jason Webb
Recorded at Kilowatt Studio, Murfreesboro, TN
Label - Independent

Chris Hester is a fine young artist with definite country flair in his voice. The song selection is great. Every song seems to have been written to fit Chris' voice.

The CD opens with "Come Home", a song of invitation. The acoustic tracks let the message of the words come through real strong. "Too Far Down To Call" is a slower paced song that has a nice message and would come across on radio very well. I like the steel and fiddles on this track. Another nice radio cut would be "It's A Good Life". This song is up-tempo and sort of has you singing along with it. You can hear the Hinson influence as Chris pours his heart into the Ronnie Hinson song, "This Joy Is Mine".

There are two Ben Scroggs songs on this CD. They are both strong ballads.
Chris really shines on "Yes I Can" and "Down On My Knees". I can't tell which one I like best. Ben wrote two great songs, and Chris interprets them both with excellence.

Other songs include "One On One", "What Can I Do For Him?", "Love Is", and "Give A Little Back".

    Chris cut 2 of my songs on this project, "One on One" (co-written with Gina Vera), and "What Can I Do For Him"(this song was originally written for an episode of "Touched By An Angel") ...and I was not disappointed with his vocal ability or overall professionalism and quality on these cuts,... or any others included on the recording!! I love this project and encourage you to get your own personal copy!!

    Note: Back up vocals by "The Martins" is an added bonus as well!

    Chris' music has been a blessing to me for along time. He is our Minister of Music at church and it is great to see the response he is now getting on the national scene. He is my son and my friend, thanks for the great review. I am now on my second copy of his CD, I wore out the first one!

    THANK YOU, for your music and your God given talent to sing and play the piano. I had the privilege to be in the studio when Chris made this project, and it was like GOD was there, along with my daughter who is in Heaven just clapping. She loved to here him sing at church. Anybody out there wants to recieve a blessing,they should get his CD, it will truly touch their heart.
