Album Notes

Get ready to take a trip back into time with 1999 Golden Flame Award Winner, John Redmon. Nineteen year old Redmon musically recounts and gives his musical interpretation of when his spirituality, patrioticism, and the world were all intertwined together. Take a musical journey back in time to 1995 where Oakland, CA native, John Redmon released his first project on his own label, Reaching Records, entitled "You Made the Difference".

On this voyage, you will be inspired with inspirational classics like "You Made the Difference" and the award winning song, "I'm a Miracle", featuring his friend, Patricia Daniels. You will be proud to be called and named an American when you hear his his heartfelt, accappella rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" and his own penned tribute to the country, "America!"

You will encounter a time to laugh at his musical drama "Can You Take This Pain Away?" featuring Lorrie Lewis-Lyles and a time to cry from his own mother's testimonial of how a single mother would set out to raise three children singlehandedly in the very moving "A Mother's Journey" by Cynthia Redmon.

And you can't forget the inspirational ballads with convicting lyrical content "You Understood" and "The Appeal".

Get ready to take a musical journey back in time to 1995. It will be a journey to remember, for a lifetime.
