REVIEWS

Absolutely loved this book. Sweet Comfort Band was the first Christian band I listened to once I was old enough to go out and buy music for myself. However I never knew the amazing career Randy Thomas had outside of SCB and Allies. I have not laughed this hard while reading a book in decades.

Randy has done an exceptional job of sharing his life in early Christian Music to the hit song Butterfly Kisses (which he cowrote with Bob Carlisle). He shares the highs and lows. Randy gives an honest look what happened in his life during these years. You feel like you are sitting there having a conversation with him as the story unfolds. The story is filled with a lot of stories that will make you laugh a lot. I enjoyed this book from start to finish. Great job Randy!

Many “honey listen to this” and laugh out loud moments. Very entertaining. This book was a great journey into the music industry’s inner workings. Not all fun and games as one would suspect, plenty of drama. A great read for everyone!
