Album Notes

Songwriter Raymond Lee Peltier is a native of Evansville, Indiana and spent most of his youth in a small community named Linton. He graduated from Linton Stockton High School in 1971 and enlisted in the United States Air Force the same year. Raymond earned his degree as a Paralegal and retired from the Air Force in July 1993 as a Law Office Manager. Raymond states that his life experiences inspired him to become a songwriter.

If there's one thing that Raymond understands, it's the transforming work of Christ. One to whom grace abounds, he is a testimony of the new life that is given to the sinner who repents and to the prodigal son who returns. "I was a dead man walking," Raymond said of his life before Christ. Now Raymond is a new creation, empowered to bring a message of hope, renewal, and faith through the writing of songs God has given him to share with the world.

Please enjoy Raymond's songs, "God Bless The U.S.A.", "America We Stand" and "Your Son, A Hero," performed by Cody Lyons on Hilltop's CD Album "Land That I Love."
