Lauren is a member of the legendary Stalnecker family. They were a gospel family band that was very big during the late 60′ into the late 70’s. this appears to be Lauren’s only solo release on a label but he had several releases within the family. He also had a release as Chip Stalnecker which I assume was a nickname. this album is not in the tradition of him family’s albums and in fact is a very pop album. Of course this is where the problem comes in for this album. I would never have purchased an album with “Hymn” in the title, especially from a Stalnecker family member. But that would be unfair because this is a great little pop album that many younger people would have enjoyed. This is just a quick lesson that album names have consequences. All that said this is a fun 80’s pop album that leans a little more Easy Listening but it’s pretty darn good.
