    Set You Free doesn't sound like every other album coming out of the Nashville factory these days-and that's definitely a good thing.

    The tunes on Set You Free will give his long-time followers more than they could have hoped for, while garnering new fans coast-to-coast.

    When all the songs are put together, it adds up to an album that's easy to enjoy.
