Welcome Home - Brians debut solo album

Advantages: Showcases Brians vocals quite well, some catchy tracks,
Disadvantages: Wont appeal to all, BSB fans and others, some tracks slightly 'filler'

...Brians first solo album, entitled Welcome Home, was finally released in the US in 2006. It features the single Welcome Home (You) and is, obviously, a pop/Christian record. It seems to only be available on import from the US, through Sony BMG, Provident label group and Provident Integrity distribution. You can purchase it as an import on amazon.co.uk or even better, at the time of this review (July 2008), I found it available on Play.com for the ...
...the world?" 3 - Welcome Home (You) - This is the most well known track on the album, in terms of it having an official video and being a single, as well as the fact that Brian has sung it solo during the Backstreet Boys Unbreakable world tour. This track is a more upbeat track, with a faster beat to it, than other tracks on the album and it talks about peoples hesitations and worries for him, when he first left home to be a member of the group and ...

...Centre on 11th September 2001. This is an inspiring song about standing strong despite challenging things in your life. "I Gotta Believe" is up next and this is a really impressive track which has an interesting beat which sounds like a mix between an R&B ballad and a dance track with it's stop start motion. This is another very good track indeed which further develops thanks to the nice background orchestral part which adds a nice touch. Track three ...

Welcome Home, Brian Littrell!

Advantages: Brian's vocals
Disadvantages: Lyrical content

...on what was to become Welcome Home, a contemporary Christian CD which focuses directly onto his faith in God and his family. People unfamiliar with Brian's life story may have been surprised by Brian's decision to record a Christian CD, but dedicated Brian fans have known for a long time that this is the music he's most passionate about and is where he got his 'start' before he became a Backstreet Boy. Similarly he was met by some scepticism from ...
...back to the subject of Welcome Home, his debut album. It was released in May 2006 in the US. It did get a release in the UK, however as Christian music isn't mainstream over here it went unnoticed and was not released to be included in the charts. It reached #74 on the Billboard Top 200 albums, but managed to reach #3 on the Christian album chart. Tracks: 01. My Answer is You - Written by Brian, this is a great opener for the album with a fantastic ...

A blind man with amazing vision

Disadvantages: Noe really

...gift he has. = DON'T LET ME MISS THE GLORY = Gordon Mote's album 'Don't Let me Miss the Glory' was released in October 2007, and contains a mix of styles, all with a strong Country and Western tinge. The opening track 'Adoration' opens with a choir, before developing into an up-tempo rocky worship song, a style that is also in Don't Let Me Miss the Glory.' 'I know Somebody Who Does' and the tracks that make up the central chunk of the CD ...
...That Noise', 'I I Can't Even Walk (Without You Holding My Hand)' and ' Ain't Gonna Give Up on God' - are variations of Gospel, while the last three songs are much more reflective ballads. 'Maplewood Methodist Church' is a Country story song. The music is accomplished, well-mixed with strong backing vocals provided by his wife Kimberly, and Alison Krauss on lead vocals on 'My Redeemer is Faithful and True'. However, much though the music is very ...
