-----------March 10, 2007CD Review: Russ Taff (Now More Than Ever) A Nutshell Review RATING: 3 1/2 Stars BUY IT! Website: www.russtaff.com Producers: James Hoolihan, Russ Taff, Michael Sykes, Bill Gaither, and Barry Jennings Songs: "Somebody's Coming," "The Sweetest Song I Know," "I'm Glad," "More Than Ever," "Just Believe," "The Really Big News," "Jesus Is The Best Thing," "Thank To Calvary," "Until I Found The Lord," "Jesus Loves Me," "I Believe In A Hill Called Mount Calvary," "Heartbreak Ridge And New Hope Road," "At The Altar," and "Hurt By Hurt" It's been four years since Russ Taff's last solo CD, The Best Of Russ Taff (2003). Now More Than Ever is probably an appropriate title for more than one reason, because Taff is singing a slew of cover songs once again. The most refreshing cut on this project is a remake of the 1973 song, "Jesus Is The Best Thing." Taff slips into classic Black Gospel mode with ease. Attempts at whiter fare like "Jesus Loves Me" (not the children's song) are less successful. Taff has actually recorded "Somebody's Coming" and "Just Believe" previously on solo releases, and he repeats these songs here with relish. "The Really Big News" and "Heartbreak Ridge And New Hope Road" are lifted directly from Everything Good, a CD the Gaither Vocal Band recorded while Taff was a group member in 2002. Given his innovative track record, you'd think a singer with Taff's unique vocal abilities would want to bring something fresh to the table after a four year break. That being said, this is still a good quality recording from a production standpoint with some of the best musicians and background vocalists you could want. Now More Than Ever is nearly an hour long, with a total of 14 tracks. Labels: CD Review posted by David Bruce Murray @ 10:23:00 PM
