Go West Young Man

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Outside of Michael W. Smith's masterpiece, Live the Life, only 1990's Go West Young Man has brought him his deserved commercial success. "Place in This World" was one of the year's top recordings and reached No. 5 on the pop charts, yielding Smitty's first crossover hit. More importantly, it was one of the few contemporary Christian music songs to reach such heights in the secular market. Smitty shows signs of diversity with the gospel-tinged "How Long Will Be Too Long" and the beautiful balladry in "Cross My Heart." "Seed to Sow" showcases an anthemic hook that's hard to ignore. Throughout the release, Smith enhances his signature keyboard sound with horns, choral groups, and hot guitar licks. Once again, he sets the standard for others to follow. --Michael Lyttle

A great record, even for a non-christian........2004-11-09

I must admit, I was a bit skeptical about Michael Smith when I first heard of him. I'm not really into "God-Rock", but this artist doesn't get weighed down by any titles. "Place in This World" is one of the most inspirational songs I have ever heard."For You" isn't far behind... All I can say, is give it a try...you just might get blown away!

Wonderfull .......2004-10-19

I grew up wit hthis album. As a child I remember listing to it on a tape deck.

Go west Youngman just speaks to me,

While Love crusade makes me get up and praise/dance.

And the haunting melody of children singing to God. Agnus Dei always sends shiviers dow nmy spine. This album is soo good. Hey, im listening to it right now!

I grew up with this, and I LOVE it!!!.......2004-08-13

First of all, this album is obviously an early 90s album, that however doesn't make it bad, just remember where music was coming out of the 80s with a love of all things synthesized, and enjoy the album for what it is. And what it is, is an amazing group of great pop tunes, some of these songs are my favorites by michael, "for you" unbelievable and so much fun, a great album you won't be dissapointed

BRILL in every way!!!.......2002-09-22

This was my first christian album and it is brilliant Go West youn man starts with galloping horses and then the funky love crusade kicks in at the bridge with michael raping. This album allso includes the top 5 hit place in this world which proves tht gospel does have the power to cross over. In my opion out Go west young man and live the life are the best smitty albums yet and any one that doest have go west, go west,south,east,north and get a copy Brilliant!!!

MWS at his best.......2002-06-29

Wow, so many great Smitty songs on Go West Young Man, including a mainstream hit ("Place In This World") and a praise & worship classic ("Agnus Dei"). How's that for diversity? "See To Sow", with a wonderful chorus and very cool use of an African children's choir, is a personal favorite. One small problem with this album: it's a little too short. Other than that...it's flawless.

Customer Reviews:

My Desert Island CD series........2000-05-02

If the "desert island cds " permit series productions, then this Burns complete songs is definitely my first choice.Since I'm a desperately song fan, as new numerous records prevail, in fact few really allure me beside the Hyperion Schubert and CPO Loewe. But when I first listened to the songs here, I was trembling! What a excitement! What a great project to record all Burn's 350+ songs! Even more, the performance, recording, singing, arranging here are all incomparable. I eagerly wait for the rest of this series.

I was very impressed.......2000-01-11

I was very impressed with everything about this CD. The artists, songs and styles were the best I've heard. Needless to say, I will go on to purchase the remaining vols, and suspect you will do the same.

Unbeatable.......2000-01-11

What can I say about this CD, and the other available volumes that I purchased immediately after hearing vol 1. The collection is simply unbeatable, and I can't help but feel that others will hold it in the same regard. Wether you have expressed an interest in Burns before or not, the sheer quality and composition of these volumes will hold you in awe. Their's only one thing further I can tell you: buy it, you won't regret it.
