“As frontman for Lonestar, Richie McDonald’s distinctive voice drove such country and AC hits as “Amazed” and “I’m Already There.” He exited the group last year to pursue a solo career and fulfills a longtime goal with the release of his first inspirational project. Most country artists who’ve tapped the Christian market have recorded familiar hymns and gospel standards, but McDonald delivers a collection of new songs that Christian audiences should eagerly embrace. He wrote nearly every song on this project. “What Would He Do” is a challenge to Christians to put their faith into action, while the title track is a powerful anthem that celebrates the hope and comfort found in a relationship with God. McDonald should be just as successful in the Christian arena as he’s long been in the country field. —Deborah Evans Price”
