Wayne Watson – The Fine Line – 1988

This is Wayne’s 7th studio album and the follow up to his wildly successful “Watercolour Ponies” album. It had 3 top 10 singles on the CCM charts. “Untouched By Human Hands” #6, “The Long Arm Of The Lord” #9, and “We Belong To Him #9. It might as well have had 4 as “That’s Not Jesus” made it to #11. As for the album it is what you would expect from Wayne Watson. Mainly easy listening and somewhat dull in spots for me. That said just because it’s not my style doesn’t mean it’s a bad album and if you are a fan of your CCM a little on the mellow side then this one is for you.
