Scott Wesley Brown – I Am A Christian – 1976

This is the second album from Scott. His first album was self released but this one was a one album deal with Gary Paxton’s Newpax records which led to a more lucrative deal with Sparrow records for his next album. While Scott was very successful on the CCM charts this album didn’t have any charting singles. This has more to do with it being on Newpax records than the quality of the record. Had this been released on Sparrow “I Am A Christian” would have easily been a top 10 single. This song is actually still a favourite of his fans all these years later. The album as you can imagine has an easy listening sound which is Scott’s style. The album also has seventies feels on several tracks and for the time and genre was a great album.
