A featured artist on both CR CDs 17 and 18 with Maker Of All Things and Day After Day Tim Hughes has had substantial recent exposure to CR readers and has touched many with his tremendous work at Soul Survivor. Now this superbly produced studio album is getting much play on Cross Rhythms radio. Hailing from the same church as Matt Redman, this solo album elevates another songwriter/worship leader to the premier league. Varying from power balllads to acoustic guitar tracks, infectious melodies and rhythms draw the listener into worship.
