So today as I am reflecting on the life of Chuck Girard and I had to pick an album to listen to. I actually chose Glow in the dark as I think that is his best album but this is his second best in my opinion. Chuck Girard holds a strange place in my CCM listening history. His style is not in my preferred genre BUT I have always enjoyed listening to him. Growing up my circle and I probably ranked Anthem as the best album intro in history. We preferred Rez or David Edwards but something often drew us back to Chuck. While his style was definitely on the easy listening side of the market we always seemed to connect with his vocals and harmonies. I remember many nights driving around in my best friends car and us listening to Chuck and in particular “Somethin’ Supernatural”. This particular album from Chuck is definitely on the lighter side of his work but as usual his vocals and harmonies are second to none. I rank this one so high because of the quality of those vocals and the quality of the writing. So give this one a listen and reflect on one of the greatest CCM artists thetre ever was.
