Love Takes Time

Love Takes Time

One of the most unmistakable voices in contemporary Christian music, Bryan Duncan spotlights his hottest singles from the '90s on this pleasing hits retrospective. Whether he's belting out a soaring chorus or reaching a deep groove in a soulful ballad, the smooth and classy cool that Duncan has exuded since his early days with the Sweet Comfort Band is all over this package. Five tracks from 1993's <i>Mercy</i>--winner of several CCM industry awards--suggest Duncan hit his peak years ago. Not true, as evidenced from the 1999 hit "Strollin' on the Water," a delirious song as free and spirit-filled as its title denotes. The one new studio track, "Love Takes Time," draws interest with production from Ted T., the man who gave Rebecca St. James her unique sound. <i>--Michael Lyttle</i>
