Jeff Johnson, David Friesen, Dave Hagelganz – Born Of Water – Ark 5476 – Producer: Ark

Truly sweeping and gentle compositions from the collaboration of these three gifted virtuosos. A Christian offering to the New Age market. With airplay or in-store play, this could be a hit. [Cash Box Magazine, May 23, 1987 (Album Releases – Feature Picks)]
