Description

Highway to Heaven opens with We Need to Thank God; in 2003, this song won Song of the Year at the Singing News Fan Awards. Mike Holcomb is featured on two songs, the Blackwood Brothers classic I Shall Arise and a song that would become a concert standard for the group, Overwhelming Joy. Featured vocalist Jack Laws—who initially sang baritone for the group, but at the time of the album's release was a band member, playing guitar—has the solo on two songs, Mama's Love Can't Go and He Loved Me to Death. Tenor Archie Watkins takes the lead on another album highlight, You Can Tell By His Blood. Highway to Heaven proved that the success of the Inspirations' first Crossroads/Horizon project, Pure Vintage, was no fluke—that they were back at the top to stay.
