REVIEWS:
*Reviewer: Al Slavicsky of Renegade Newsletter - Michael Minnis' songs hit your spirit. Songwriting is a plus and seems to be very personal in nature. "Temptation" is probably the CD's best tune due to the song and power that Michael's voice delivers. File Michael Minnis in your music collection.
