Winds of Change

by Tim GriggsWith the aid of Nashville's elite studio musicians, Russ Taff makes a joyful noise on "Bein' Happy," the album opener on Winds of Change. Taff and gang then tackle topics such a marriage, love, and heartache with mixed results. Highlights include "I Cry" and the title track. Taff is a fine vocalist who is adept in country, rock, and gospel music. Unfortunately, not all the material on Winds of Change is as strong as Taff's voice.
