I've got some very good news for the fans of Charlie Peacock. He's back and as strong as ever.

Like an old friend, Peacock sings to us the songs that made him popular. Over the years Peacock has gathered for himself a collection of little tunes that didn't sell too well the first time around, but he's giving them another chance. Very impressive and very deep, Peacock's content, musically and lyrically, will hook your heart. Every song he performs sings to your soul and blesses your day time and time again.

You've probably heard by now, but Charlie Peacock has re-released his "West Coast Diaries" volumes 1-3! Of course that means you'll have to spend three times the amount just to hear all of the "Diaries," but I assure you, it's absolutely worth it. Under the circumstances, Peacock had so much success with his last album, "The Secret of Time," that he was allowed a second chance to sell some of his greatest classics.

Many of us enjoy different styles of music, and the fact that there are three volumes caters to our differences just fine. Each disc is filled with the music that Peacock breathes life into. There are 32 songs in all, each one filled with the passion and talent of Christian music's premier vocalist.

Lacking nothing, the first volume contains 54 minutes of Peacock at his finest. Included in the first volume are, "Big Man's Hat," "One Thing," and "The Way of Love," which are all featured on his album "The Secret of Time."

Next in line is volume two, featuring Jimmy A., Vince Ebo, and Charlie performing as an acoustic trio (probably my favorite of the three but unfortunately the shortest).

"Diaries" Volume 3 closes out the set and completes an epic collection of splendid music. Some great relaxing songs and some familiar ones make a perfect conclusion to an incredible collection.

Absolutely amazing! I advise you to give them a listen and catch as much of Charlie as you can at Ichthus.
