With Doctor Faith, Christopher Cross shows his full potential as a songwriter and very talented musician and delivers an album with each song being more beautiful than the one before. Being a very guitar based album Doctor Faith represents a departure for the artist, as although he has always written on guitar, his earlier albums were done more from a keyboard-based sound production.
The album may surprise some people, not only because of its mesmerizing energy and freshness but also because it shows the social awareness of an artist who's been in the business for more than three decades - reflecting about what's going on in the world, in the society, between the generations and in the common day-to-day life. Take for example the uplifting, very forward thinking opener, 'Hey Kid' or the multi-layered song, 'I'm Too Old For This,' which is a critical observation of the American society. Another very impressive side of Cross' songwriting qualities is shown in the title track 'Doctor Faith' where the superb Michael McDonald gives the patient of 'Doctor Faith' a very plaintive voice. The album is by all means a new Christopher Cross masterpiece and will surely match all expectations.
'This album feels not only like a new chapter to my career; it feels like starting a whole new book.' - Christopher Cross
