This is one of the most remarkable modern Gospel groups in the
upper Midwest.  In just a short time they have been able to take their
music coast to coast, especially to California where they have been
doing incredible concerts.  There’s quite a few combinations that make
this group work so well.  One is the very well written Gospel songs they
record.  Rich Riche and Keith Wilson are responsible for the incredibly
good original songs they record.  They ventured a little out of the
ordinary this time and did a song by Dan Seals “God Must Be A Cowboy At
Heart,” which is truly a number one piece of work all the way through. 
All of the ‘voices’ we hear from this group are top notch, the best. 
It’s the same with their instruments, their harmonies, their commitment,
and of course their very strong belief in Jesus Christ.  That’s what is
most important to me.  These guys are macho muscular he-man kind
of guys.  To be so sensitive to what they are producing with their
music, to me is a ‘gift’ from God.  That’s why they are so believable,
so entertaining, so easy to listen to.  Everything, and I do mean
EVERYTHING on this CD that you hear is top-notch, better than most
anything we hear on radio these days….ANYWHERE!  They are all close
friends, and they function well together.  Brian Owens with super vocals
and guitar; Chad Riche with super vocals and bass; Rich Riche with
super vocals and guitar and mandolin; Keith Wilson with super vocals
guitar, banjo, violin (especially nice on “I Can’t Help Myself” and “Who
Is Like Our God”), mandolin, dobro, and Chad Lee on drums and
percussion who also produced and engineered this project. What a treat
to hear a group basically from Council Bluffs, Iowa, doing music so
incredibly professionally well done.   Off this one goes to the Rural
Roots Music Commission. They
are going to have one good time listening to these Midwest guys that
have taken their music far far above the hills of Iowa.
