In addition to owning a powerful, affecting voice, Russ Taff is among CCM's most versatile performers. Right Here Right Now is among his more introspective efforts, exploring issues of strength, frailty, and the trials and joys of maintaining strong religious faith in the face of human imperfection. Taff is more confessional than many of his CCM peers, coming off as all the more effective in his message through his refusal to sugarcoat. Overall, a fine return to the recording arena. ~ Steve Huey minimize
