My brother got this album for Christmas when we were like 8 and 6, but we both listened to this religiously (lol). I still have good memories driving around listening to this one. And I gotta say, for a mainstream Christain record, it’s not that bad, but man it’s so cheesy 💀 “Funky Jesus Music” is so goofy, and “Break Open The Sky” is like trying to do reggae for some reason? Idk why he did that but props to him for not just doing the same 3-chord-pop-christain-radio style as everyone else. I also love that he featured his son on the record, I remember thinking that was the coolest song ever at the time. And there are some songs I still enjoy, namely the title track “Tonight” and “Hey Devil”. It’s not one of the best albums ever but I have great memories playing this in the car with my family. Great times.

Playing some oldies for mom where we can all sing along, getting asked which album this is by your brother or sister which affirms yourself as an Obscure Ball Knower, occasionally torturing them with a 100 gecs / the jesus lizard track.
One of my favorite aspects going back home.

I'm a 12-year-old living in Ireland, up until this point, my musical taste was mostly confined to what played on the radio and whatever my mum enjoyed. While I did find some of her musical choices appealing – think Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block, and Whitney Houston, I didn't really think about music beyond something to sing and perform to.
(Side note Back in those days, I was quite the performer, often putting on dance routines and passionately singing along to tracks by the Backstreet Boys and the whole Aladdin soundtrack.)
However, my musical taste underwent a significant shift during the summer of that year when I traveled to London. At that time, my cousins were all about UK Garage, Hip Hop and RnB. It was there that they introduced me to the song "Fill Me In" by Craig David, and something about it just resonated with me. Maybe it was the intrigue and allure of sharing in my cousins' musical tastes, but it left an indelible mark on my musical taste, a fondness that remains unwavering to this day.
In fact, that experience prompted me to make my very first album purchase with my own money at HMV (Oxford Street). It was Craig David's “Born to do it”. And I didn't stop there; I also picked up "Pure Garage II" – a topic I'll delve into later because it's undeniably a perfect album.
As I immersed myself in these new sounds, I returned to Ireland with a newfound fascination for London's music culture and a determination to shape my own, unique music preferences.
(Listening to the album while I write this, “Walking Away” may be my my favourite song on the album)

Idk why but my mother reallllllly liked this album and it was a pivotal part of my childhood. Beatles songs covered by some
greats of that time(2002). Apparently when I was a kid and wanted to hear this album I would say, “mama, can you play the la la la song?” In reference to Mother Nature’s Son.
