Bryan Duncan / Joyride

Bryan Duncan consistently released stellar solo projects since he stopped his Sweet Comfort Band. I would admit that "Mercy" (1992), "Slow Revival" (1994) and "Blue Skies" (1996) are one of the best CCM albums I ever listened to. However, I have to confess that I was so disappointed with his 1998 album "The Last Time I Was Here" because Bryan seemed to make his music style into wrong direction. I did not understand why he did so. I was very glad that Bryan Duncan returned to his rich R&B roots. His 2001 album "Joyride" is the true blue-eyed soul music from start to finish. Bryan covers Paul McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed", which is the best cover version of the tune I ever listened to.
