By this time, the Oaks counted the likes of Johnny Cash among their fans, and this album boasts a rousing rendition of Cash’s song Daddy Sang Bass.  Other highlights include Duane Allen’s self-penned Without Jesus You Won’t Make Heaven and Willie Wynn’s lively lead vocal on I’m Almost Home.  A clean shaven William Lee Golden handles lead vocals on Nearer To Thee and Amazing Love.  Noel Fox debuts on bass, fitting into the Oaks’ look and sound easily, and contributing leads on It’s In Your Hands and It Won’t Be Long. 

    This Dove Award winning album is transitional in a way, as the residual echoes of the hootenanny Oaks from the Folk Minded Spirituals album give way to a more countrified sound.  The computer card graphics and smart photography on the fold-out album jacket speak of a group of young men who are focused on the future.  For The Oak Ridge Boys, it’s still happening.
