I'm looking forward to this one. I'm a fan from back in the day and will be interested in hearing the new stuff.
It's sad that it takes such traumatic events to bring someone to Jesus, but I know from personal experience how that works. Knowing where to stand, finding the Rock, when you feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you -- that takes guts. Lou Gramm, I salute you in your efforts and can't WAIT to hear this new Christian rock album.
What a welcome and uplifting surprise!!! I can't wait, it can only be awesome when it's for GOD!! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait to hear it. It appears the words from the song " I want to know what love is" were prophetic.
Lou got saved months before he found out he had a brain tumor.He even recorded a christian song with Petra [We need Jesus] before the tumor was discovered.
I think this is great! Lou Gramm is a very talented individual. God has blessed him with a wonderful gift, and to give your gift back to the Lord is one of the most wonderful things that can be done... I am really looking forward to his new album! God bless your new venture Lou!
Does anyone know when Lou Gramm's new album will be released. Will this website have the name of the CD?
Gayle, I'll stay on the story and give you info when I get it!

I cannot wait for Lou Gramm's new Christian CD! Does anyone know WHEN it will be released and where I can purchase it? I am getting impatient. His voice is so beautiful.
That's a great new
I agree with Jackie thanks to the LORD for him
I recently rediscovered Foreigner when "I Want To Know What Love Is" came to mind while I was driving my work truck. I grew up in the 70's and remember Foreigner well, but as life went on and I became a Christian, many things changed for me. However, while going back and viewing some of Foreigner's video clips and listening to many of the songs I haven't heard in years, it suddenly became apparent to me how truly talented Lou Gramm really was and is. While paying close attention to his vocal dexterity, I was completely amazed how strong, clear, and versatile his vocal range was. Lou, by far, is one of THE best, American rock vocalists of all time. And although there are many great vocalists out there, he is in a class all his own. I am also very greatful to know that he loves God and is a professing believer in Jesus Christ! That is truly the best news of all.
On his myspace it says May 30th 2009 is the cd release party!!! FINALLY!!! THANK YOU LOU!!!
Thanks, Cheryl! I haven't checked the site in a while and haven't gotten a response yet from emails. Much appreciated!!!

Thanks, Gayle!

Finally...I first heard tell of this almost two years ago!!! I know that good things are worth waiting for; and this will be great!!!
If you go to Amazon.com you can download the new album on MP3 version now. I have been and Lou Gramm fan for many years and very much like this album. The song "Single Vision" says what so many Americans feel today and is my favorite song on the album.
Thanks
