Synopsis

Amazon.com
Whether you view Steve Wariner as a faceless purveyor of easy-listening country-pop, or as a stylish guitarist who occasionally breaks out of the pack with hot solos and jazzy scat vocals, his albums can always be counted on for a quiet elegance. Unlike Vince Gill, with whom he shares a nice-guy persona and a penchant for midtempo love songs, Wariner never reaches down into his soul for a killer ballad born of searing pain, and his sentimental songs of lonely losers ("Waiting in the Wings") are apt to squeeze into a sermon. That said, Faith in You has a feel-good vibe and life-affirming spirit to balance its slickness, and the warm-voiced singer holds his own nicely on rhythmic duets with Garth Brooks ("Katie Wants a Fast One") and Clint Black ("Been There"). Bottom line: If you're looking for something pleasant and well crafted, Steve's your guy. If it's excitement you need, better mosey on. --Alanna Nash

CD Reviews

Doesn't match up to "Two Teardrops"
Chuck S. | New Jersey | 08/22/2000
(3 out of 5 stars)

"To say I was disappointed when I first heard this album only means that his previous effort, "Two Teardrops" was so good, it is unmatched. My favorite songs here are "Turn In the Road", "Make It Look Easy" and "Been There" (with Clint Black). Steve tries some new things on this album, like "I Just Do", a song that fits George Strait's style. Then there's "Bloodlines", the instrumental duet with his son. Steve excels at instrumental music, and if you enjoy this track, you owe it to yourself to listen to "No More Mr. Nice Guy", if you haven't had the chance. Marcus Hummon once again offers his genius on "I Wish I Were a Train". Unfortunately, I have to hit the skip button a couple of times. I personally didn't like "Longer Letter.." and "Wouldn't Be Love". But with 13 songs altogether, Steve gives the country music listener their money's worth. If you're a fan, any Steve Wariner album is a welcome addition to your collection."

Impeccable Musicianship
John Ebert | Watertown, WI USA | 01/12/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Steve Wariner's 2000 release "Faith in You" follows his two critically acclaimed and hit laden albums "Two Teardrops" and "Burnin' the Roadhouse Down". While "Faith in You" doesn't contain any big radio hits, its full of good,laid-back country songs filled with impeccable musicianship. Steve's own virtuosity on the guitar is complemented by Matt Rolling's keyboard artistry,Paul Franklin's steel,and Biff Watson's and Steve's son Ryan's guitar licks.My favorites are Faith in You, I Just Do,Turn in the Road, Waiting in the Wings and I Wish I were a Train. A couple of up-tempo numbers, Katie Wants a Fast One and Been There give balance to the album. All in all a solid effort and one that I would recommend to country music lovers."
