| Editorial Reviews: | |  |  | | Some Christian mainstream acts spend entire careers aiming for crossover appeal. Call Brian Littrell a little different because he is going against the grain. This Backstreet Boy has traded--for a moment at least--international glitz for a trip back home to his roots, spiritual roots that is, with Welcome Home. It's a journey that clearly resonates strongly with Littrell because he has released an album full of depth, reflection, diversity, and celebration. At least partial credit goes to producer Dan Muckala who has taken a vocal talent, stretched his boundaries, and combined with the artist to usher out a beautifully rich-sounding release. Starting firmly with his proclamation of faith ("My Answer Is You"), Littrell pours his heart and soul into a wonderful collection of material that ranges from hard-edged pop ("I'm Alive") to R&B/light jazz ("We Lift You Up") to classic Southern gospel ("Jesus Loves Me"). Littrell also offers several nods to his Backstreet days with his silky smooth vocals on "You Keep Givin' Me" and "Grace of My Life." There's a lot to be excited about with this release but perhaps two of the highlights come with the gripping "Gone Without Goodbye" and "Angels and Heroes." The former is a heart-wrenching tale of sharing the burden of grief with those who have lost loved ones tragically, while the latter builds on the ministry motif by suggesting that all of us are wired to be angels, if we so choose, in this lifetime. Littrell's transparency of heart and passionate vocals will make believers even out of the most hardened cynic. Welcome home Brian, we're glad you're back. --Michael Lyttle END | |

| A CD about Fait and He isn't afarid to share | |
| | Brian Littrell's album Welcome home is about his faith. Every song tells a story about faith and how some times you can lose it but the important thing is that you come back to it. Every song tells a story. Angels & Hereos is one of my favourite songs on the album. He also makes the album a family affair, his song can be heard at the track Jesus Love You. The CD is a mixture of tradition Christian music, to gospel and to Christian pop. There is something for everyone on this album. If you asre a Backstreet Boys fan then you know how much this album has meant to Brian. His voice shines on every track. Even if you are not into Christian music you will still enjoy this album.
| | Fantastic Christian Album! | |
| | I picked up this cd yesterday at the Christian bookstore kind of unsure what to expect. I am a fan of the backstreet boys and I always loved how Brian stuck true to his faith but I never expected him to release an actual Christian cd.
He has done an absolute AMAZING job on this album. The music is great, and the lyrics are fantastic. Its a sincere reminder of all that Christ has done for us straight from Brians heart.
I definitely suggest everyone pick it up.
