Music reviews of I've Got a Reason

Music Review: Same as it ever was...
Rating: 5 Stars

I must have wore out two copies of this record on vinyl back in my high school days, and pretty much have not heard it since then. So I was curious to see if it would stand the test of time, and to my great delight it has! This was Richie's first solo album (after two with the Souther Hillman Furay band) and it pretty much came and went in the stores. I think he had more success with subsequent albums (also reissued). I have always felt that of his solo recordings this was the strongest, lyrically, musically, and in terms of production value. And unfortunately I think the reason it did so poorly had more to do with the subject matter of his songs than anything else. Richie had recently become a Christian and was exploring the implications his newfound faith on this record. Don't get the wrong idea, this is not a "CCM" album. In fact, compared to the "Jesus Music" of the day, Richie's lyrics are downright obtuse. Nevertheless, the dividing line was pretty clear at that time and this record got labeled as "christian music" and just did not get played.
In terms of the reissue, the dissapointment is that there are no bonus tracks (somebody must have some tapes somewhere!), nor are there any additional liner notes. However, the transfer is clean and crisp and all the info that was on the original release is there, including lyrics.
