LIVE THE LIFE (1998)
Smitty's newest project is here in all its glory. It starts out with two driving pop/rock tracks, then settles down to a good dose of classic Michael W. Smith, from the power pop ballad title cut to the keyboard-driven 80's rock "I Believe in You Now." No, he hasn't really discovered the guitar yet, though these songs are such simple anthems, they were probably written on Smith's guitar. Don't get me wrong; every song here is a jewel—just after all the hype, I was expecting a little more diverse musical context. Lyrically, Smitty's trademark "best friend" approach is employed, yet he seems more concerned about Truth and reality than friendship on Live the Life.
