Home Free Review

I have been a fan of Wayne Watson's ever since his 1987 breakthrough hit "Watercolour Ponies" (if you have never heard this song and you are a parent, you need to hear it). But as popular as that song was, most Wayne Watson fans will tell you that his best album ever was the 1990 release "Home Free."

The title track from this album was written out of the pain Wayne felt from the soon to be death of a close friend of his, Sandra Kirkham. Although everyone around her was praying for her complete recovery, God opted to call her home. The song "Home Free" deals with the conflict that is inherent in all of us: allowing God's will to be done even when it hurts.

A good companion to the title song is "When God's People Pray," a reminder of what all can happen when God answers our prayers.

There are many, many more songs on this album that should be taken to heart. And each one will move your heart towards God if you will let it.

This album is a must have for not only Wayne Watson fans, but soon-to-be Wayne Watson fans.
