This Light Records release is R&B lite -- saxes, Hammond organs, and slightly funky bass guitars arranged with the synthesized homogeneity that dominated the radio in the 1980s. Any soul comes from Bryan Duncan's impressive vocals. There's too much synth-string sentimentality, but the title track is an entertaining exception; it's a clever Motown tune explicating the central tenants of Christian redemption doctrine with a string of puns: "Get yourself acquitted for the crime you've yet to pay/'Cause the judge has found you guilty and you're sure to do the time/So have yourself committed now or be dying for the crime." Music.com for Have Yourself Committed "More of Duncan's R&B-flavored '80s pop -- this time with a little less R&B and a little more '80s pop. As usual, the production is an uninspired blend of guitars, keyboards and drums. The best songs are the title song, which is a manic soul/blues number with a sense of humor, and "Remember Me," a more serious but equally catchy retelling of a Biblical story. Duncan's powerful, throaty vocals sound remarkably soulful and give the album its impact." Music.com for Holy Rollin' Check out the artist's website: http://www.bryand.com/ Track List: 1.
