“LOOK TO THE LIGHT” - Songs Of Faith From The Pen Of Rick Lang

“If anyone needs inspiration this project has it in spades. From the first note of "Thirst & Hunger" to the last note of "Sailing On" the listener is treated to almost 46 minutes of thought provoking inspirational songs. This entire project yells out, "listen to this CD, we have something important for you to hear". The artists were top notch. The fervor and enthusiasm in their voices as they sang each song sent chills down my spine. The song selection was superb. This project needs to be heard several times in order to fully appreciate the artists & the lyrics being sung. Needless to say the audience response for this CD was overwhelming. While playing the entire CD my request lines never stopping ringing. It is rare to have a strictly gospel CD that generates this much feedback. Each & every song was requested to be played again.”

"Rick gets it. He has the intuition to recognize a great line or idea, the inspiration to see how it would work, and the perspiration to follow it through into a complete song. And though Rick has a great sense of humor, he has irony deficiency, which makes his songs honest and unselfconscious—something rare today.
"If we all had one word tattooed on our forehead that expressed our essence, I think Rick’s word would be “Thankful.” He lives that word in his appreciation of others, of songs, of music and musicians, of his family, and of his life in Christ. This album will make us all thankful."

"From the first verse of "Thirst & Hunger" to the last toe-tapping chorus of "Sailing On", Rick Lang's pen flows with meaningful messages and memorable melodies! Kudos to Jesse Brock, John Miller and the All-Star cast of singers and pickers who brought this great body of work to life. "Look To The Light (Songs Of Faith)" is one of my very favorite collections of Bluegrass Gospel Music! Thanks to Rick for being a great guy and one of the finest songwriters in our genre!"

"I've known Rick for many years and I regard him highly, not only as a writer/composer, but, also, as a human being. On days when I feel like we live in a world of doubt and pessimism, it's good to know there are people, like Rick, who are fighting for the 'good' that's still all around us. He draws strength and courage from his faith in God to overcome the negative things in life and this, in my mind, is a large part of what defines him as a person, and these themes, along with reflection, hope and inspiration, is
what you will hear throughout the songs contained on 'LOOK TO THE LIGHT'. This is a wonderful project and I’m very proud that Rick asked me to be a part of it and I hope that my vocal contributions have given justice to his heartfelt messages."

"Look To The Light" is more than a great gospel album, it's a tour de force of bluegrass's finest, coupled with heartfelt songs from the pen of preeminent bluegrass gospel songwriter Rick Lang. A must have." - Terry Herd, Bluegrass Radio Network
