Details:
One listen to Michael Armstrong's debut album "Loved" (Pine Mountain Music) and you'll understand why this release has made its way into the charts and hearts of Christian music fans everywhere. Michael drives his grassroots faith home in this first album with compelling lyrics, fresh arrangements, and rich sonic texture.

Michael reveals a sensitivity unusual in today's Christian music scene.

The title of this album rightly is named "Loved" because its whole purpose is to bring focus and honor to God alone. Loved intends to bring its listener to heartfelt praise, and perhaps relent the sometimes cold heart that can callus one's life and faith. As one sits back for a listen, Michael's sensitive lyrics and comforting music overwhelm with both peace and joy. Loved "reads" like a story book. Colorful in its imagery and honest to its core. Crack open its first page and see Michael bring us back to the days of "connect-the-dots" where his crayons brought life to paper; but where God shows him really how to play, with stars hung up in the sky.

Song after song, picture after picture, draw ever so close the listener to display this artist's craft in inspirational songwriting and his true desire to honor his Creator. Many of the songs speak of God's grace, emphasizing a believers true longing to reach beyond this life, to a real home in heaven, finally in God's presence.

Loved is a journey. A journey with Jesus and His love. It's a theme that runs throughout Michael Armstrong's "Loved". This CD is a vigorous proclamation of Christ and a welcomed title among Christian music's rising stars.
