Album Notes

Ken and Jeff's first CD "Let Go" (now out of print) which was released in 2001 was a very special and unique CD by child hood friends Jeff Pike and Ken Mercer. It was a ground breaking musical testimony about the miracle of recovery as told through the words of Ken and the music of Jeff. An honest and true life story account of one man's journey into the depths of alcoholism, drug addiction, denial, depression and finally spirituality and recovery. A story that mirrors so many millions of others. Since it's release in 2001 "Let Go" has sold extremely well in the local recovery, spiritual and Christian community of Atlanta, GA and has been a deep inspiration to those who have heard it. In many cases a vehicle that has actually saved lives. Ken and Jeff have performed "Let Go"- The Miracle of Recovery at local and national recovery conventions and meetings both large and small. Their performances, message and music have effected countless people, and it is their continued hope that through this project they can give hope to those still struggling with their faith and the disease of alcoholism.

"Out Of The Hole" began in 2005 when Ken was asked to share his story at many a meeting. During his experience, strength and hope, God revealed to Ken that he was referring to lines from the songs that were shared in "Let Go" while sharing his story. Thus "Let Go" was revisited and re-recorded to become "Out of The Hole." Listening to "Out Of The Hole" is now like sitting in a speaker meeting accompanied by a musical testimony. The story is now told, however, not only through the songs that were answers to Kens prayers, but by a short narrative that precedes each song. The end result is once again a ground breaking recording of faith, honesty and recovery. This project started in 1996 and has taken 11 years to reach it's maturity. We think you will agree it was worth the wait.

While the musical style of Ken and Jeff is very much their own, some have compared their sound to the recordings of Dan Fogelberg, Bruce Springsteen, and Kenny Loggins.
