		Notice how John uses the word “I” in every song except for one, giving the listener a real look into his life and beliefs.
		John has rarely sung more powerfully and emotionally than on this track.
		Reprise (J&D Elefante) - I was under the impression that a reprise had to follow up the original theme of something, but this is just a snippet of music that has nothing to do with anything.

		As the dream continued, John and his friend were standing in the kitchen of the new house, which has a hardwood floor.
		John's friend noticed that the floorboards in one corner were coming up and asked for a flashlight.
		Another realization that John came to during this time was the fact that he had never used the name of Jesus in a song.

	Reviews for John Taglieri - SoundClick Music
		John has done a nice debut album that I recommend to all of you that enjoys little softer AOR with acoustic approach mixed with couple rockers.
		John Taglieri looks a bit like John Elefante and also musically there are a couple of comparisons with him, although John Taglieri is better at times and much more AOR rock based than the calmer stuff of John Elefante.
		John Taglieri, the band visionary, recently made a surprise appearance on the top-rated WPLJ morning show, where his new solo album of original material, titled Leap of Faith, was premiered.

		John Elefante, the new lead singer, cannot possibly replace the wild and eccentric Steve Walsh, but he was a far more competent singer.
		Elefante is not a bad singer, but he is not really suited to this style of hard rock/progressive music; his voice is much too poppy.
		John Elefante was only present on 2 Kansas albums (Drastic Measures being the second), but his presence, talents, and contributions added a chapter to the band's history that was needed at the time with 'new wave' music planning its onslaught into the American music scene..

	Christian Music & Lyrics John Elefante
		It seems that John struggled through bad production in previous attempts and never had the formula to produce a "defying gravity" before or after.
		The highlight of the album to me would be the 3rd Cut, "the stream", if John Elefante ever fell into a perfect song for his voice and instrument box this would be it.
		As artists in general struggle to find themselves, occasionally a great album comes out, examples of this are without number, as are the hopeless albums they produced before and after their moments of grandeur.

	SOUND KITCHEN: Watching the Dough Rise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-02)
		Between Dino's productions-he has produced records for major CC artists, including Petra, Carmen and Nikki Leonti-and John Elefante's success as an artist in the growing genre, a significant percentage of the studio's initial revenues came from that sector, which was experiencing growth even as country music, the staple of Nashville's studio community, was dwindling.
		Dino Elefante says several major Nashville producers, including Mike Clute, Brown Bannister and Michael Omartian, have been guaranteed availability at the facility regardless of when they book, which also helps alleviate the sting of the growing number of producers who build their own studios.
		Dino Elefante is aware that the facility's rapid success has engendered some envy on Music Row, where many studios continue to struggle with country music's changing fortunes.

		Keith: Some of the things that you've shared, John, is exciting and great to hear because one of the things that sometimes people say about Christian music is that its not about the artist or where they're at or what they're doing in their lives.
		John: I was supposed to be at a session five minutes ago but I have a studio at my house so I just go down to the basement and I'll probably be working until about 1:00 in the morning.
		John came on stage in the dark and surprised everyone by joining in on this song which is a duet that will be on her debut.

	Hard'n'Heavy
		John Elefante's career in music began in 1981 when lead singer Steve Walsh left Topeka-based progressive rock group Kansas.
		And while John Elefante wouldn't trade those years for anything, when asked if his notoriety as Kansas' lead singer ever obscures what he is doing now-some 13 years later-he confesses that it sometimes does.
		In addition the brothers Elefante are co-owners of the Sound Kitchen, a Nashville-based recording studio that caters to such clients as Wynonna Judd, Julio Iglesias, Barry Manilow, Gary Chapman and Point of Grace.

		John Elefante: It really had a big impact on me. That band was bigger than they know.

		I've got some great news, John told me that he is in the studio working on a new album and it might be released by the end of this summer.
		John made many new fans at this concert and I hope all of you will get the opportunity to see him in concert sometime too.
		John is my favorite singer, and favorite artist after Kerry, if they would do a project together it would be truly awesome.

	Kansas - Vinyl Confessions
		There were two of them actually, the other named Drastic Measures but I kind of prefer this one since there are a greater amount of good songs on it.
		The introducing "Play The Game Tonight" is quite good, and so is "Right Away" but none of them sound as Kansas should have done with Steve Walsh as a writer insted of John Elefante.
		John is more of an AOR rocker than a Kansas rocker.

		The third solo effort from John Elefante, and one of the better albums to spend time in my CD player lately.
		If I have any complaint with John's solo work it's the lack of edge in the music (like his stuff with Mastedon).
		John even managed to sneak in a couple of musical tongue in cheek nods to Kansas along the way.

		John Elefante hit the nail right on the head and wrapped the whole world's problems into one song.
		The first verse tells of a person who feels like a bottle lost at sea, like loneliness was made for him, but with God he doesn't feel that way anymore.
		For any fan of Kansas or of John Elefante's productions (Petra, Guardian, Carman, and others) this is a great addition to your library.

		Up next is the JOHN ELEFANTE typed light AOR ballad "How do I love you girl?", this song is sounding very polished and radio-ready.
		The calmer AOR song "Lonely girl" is better and very much sounding like JOHN ELEFANTE.
		About 5 or 6 songs are simply superb AOR and a must for fans of JOHN TAGLIERI, STAN MEISSNER…, but on the other hand the rest of the CD is just pure Pop (like the last KYLE VINCENT).
