    These guys come across as a tight veteran outfit that knows what they're doing. The production is good and clean, and the songs are well-written, especially "Do What God Says", an R&B rocker with all the strength and snap of Aerosmith or The Allies. Excellent tune about Adam and Eve and obeying the Lord. The only other song, "Love Your Ways", is a ballad that shows the lighter side of the band. Both of these songs are radio quality. For ordering info, write: PO Box 560622, The Colony TX 75056.
