About The Record:
Danger in Loving You, by Tom Howard, is a vocal album that showcases his multifaceted talents as a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, blending piano-driven ballads with progressive rock elements in the context of contemporary Christian music. Produced in collaboration with Daniel Amos frontman Terry Scott Taylor, it features an impressive array of backing vocalists from the Christian rock scene, including Randy Stonehill, Jerry Chamberlain, and Jessy Dixon, creating a rich, communal sound reflective of the era's burgeoning Jesus music movement. Historically significant as one of Howard's early vocal efforts before he gained wider acclaim for his instrumental piano albums akin to George Winston, it highlights his innovative arrangements and emotional depth in exploring themes of faith and vulnerability. Fan-favorites include the uplifting Shine Your Light, the choir-backed anthem Strong Love, later covered by Larry Norman, and the quirky The Serious Occupation of Fish, while the progressive title track Danger in Loving You stands out as a dynamic closer that builds from intimate piano and vocals into a powerful rock crescendo. Unique facts abound in its eclectic tracklist, such as the synth-heavy Power Play and the reflective House of the Father, all penned and arranged solely by Howard, underscoring his creative independence within the genre.
