Product Description
From Amazon.com
This is the one, the album Michael W. Smith has always wanted to make. Put simply, Live the Life is a masterpiece. The Christian music star has finally meshed his impressive songwriting skills and limited but effective singing with a tasteful producer's ear. The anthemic "Missing Person" sets the tone: Smith is playing for keeps. Guitars, not keyboards, play a large role on this release, as evidenced by Smith's cowriting with the vastly underrated Brent Bourgeois on "Live the Life," "Don't Give Up," and "Matter of Time." On the rest, Smith shares songwriting duties with master musician Wayne Kirkpatrick. Each number carries a depth unparalleled and showcases Smith's maturation. Fast, slow, happy, sad, quiet, and loud: you have it all on Live the Life. --Michael Lyttle

I 'discovered' Michael W. Smith about 6 months ago and have most of his albums. This one is the best Albums I have ever listened to. This man is a genius as far as I am concerned. He is a brilliant musician and sings so wonderfully. I had to buy a second copy of "Live the Life" for my children, who are 9, 11, and 13 as they love it especially the first song, Missing Person. We listen to it over and over again and what is so great about it is that the messages in the songs are so wholesome. Don't even think twice about buying this CD!!

This CD is packed with great songs. My favourites among them are "Never been unloved" as it is a powerful song. I would recommend this to anyone who is seeking to improve their Christian walk through the medium of music. It is a great CD that makes you think about what is truly important in life.

For those who have followed the career of this talented man, will know that its full of water mark moments, I remember when i bought this years ago that "Word" (the record Label) were advertising it as one of his best. I agree & that's after listening to it for years.
It's a 90's product, a little More Rocky in arrangement than some of his earlier work with gentler ballads as well. The songs tend to build. Its more of a 3 course meal than a trip to your favourite fast food outlet. For me it equals "The big Picture", "Go west young Man" & "Freedom" among his better Albums. There are few musical styles in its make up.
Let me show you the way was co written with Nik Kershaw. & is one of many stand out tracks, I love most of them From musical arrangements to the lyrical journey that this takes you on. Its one Album that will always remain in my collection, but then again there are many of his that will.
