Wow, why hasn't everyone heard of this guy? / 5
I first came across Russ Taff years ago in a Christian music sale. I'd never heard of him, since I live in UK, but I bought the record anyway. Since then, the amazing music, the honesty and passion of his lyrics, coupled with a superb singing voice, have made me a fan. I was so excited to hear about this new album.I've not been disappointed. Taff's music is impossible to pigeon-hole and this album is a typical example. Just when you think you've pinned him down to one style, he changes to another. There is rock, there is gospel, Country&Western, soul, classical, a bit of everything, but Taff carries it off triumphantly in his incredible voice that can get you dancing one minute, and in tears the next; with tunes that stick in your head so you can't get them out and lyrics that are breath-takingly real and gutsy. It's not just good Christian music, it's good music in any context. If you've never heard it, you're missing a treat. I don't know why he is so little known in Britain, but if people heard this album, I think he'd be a household name.
Song "Love Is Not A Thing"
If love was a stone I could toss it away
Never think twice, I'd be okay
If love was an arrow I could pull back my bow
Aim at the sky and let it go
Chorus:
But love is not a thing
You don't take it off like a ring
Just because you said goodbye
That don't mean that love had died
It's alive and doin' well in my heart
If love was a book I could just put it down
Don't need a romance around
If love was a clock I could let it unwind
Throw it out the window and watch the time fly
(Chorus twice)
Love is alive
Love is alive
and doing well in my heart
Livin' in my heart
