Recorded in Cleveland TN and produced by Jimmy Johnson and Phil Driscoll, this album is the follow up to his successful Plugged In album that was released in 1999.

The first two singles being released from this album are songs that speak to not only those with hearts for God, but also those who live with compassion for others that risk their lives to keep them safe. “I Will Dance” was written by Phil’s friend Lenny LeBlanc and had help with Driscoll’s son Jamie who played the piano on the track. Jamie also wrote the second verse of the song.

As for the song “Salute,” this was written solely by Phil. “It came to me as I reflected on the tremendous sacrifice that has been made by many sons and daughters,” says Driscoll. “As soldiers for our country their sacrifice for the most part goes unnoticed and is all too often without recognition by the very ones who enjoy their freedom because of their sacrifice.”

An accomplished composer and writer, his music has been heard in countries all over the world, including Singapore, South Africa, Europe and Russia, to name just a few. His appeal is truly universal.
