Stand Album Press Release
(Nashville, TN) Sept. 11, 2006 - Not content to sit still, in his creative processes or in his relationships, Grammy-winning singer / songwriter / producer Michael W. Smith challenges listeners to find their own calls to respond, within the content of his latest album Stand, which releases November 7.

Through his church work away from the public spotlight, amid the new interaction that having children growing into young adulthood brings, and in the viewing of a world crying out for answers, Smith takes a stand and asks listeners to join him. Stand issues a call.

“It is a call to stand outside of the walls of the church, rubbing shoulders with the lost,” Michael says of the new project. “It is a call to stand because you’ve captured a glimpse of something so powerful you cannot stay seated.It is a call to stand for the One who gave it all.”

Stand releases to retail through Smith’s longtime label home Reunion Records and also marks a number of creative firsts for the veteran artist:

* It’s the first project on which Smith hasn’t served in a lone-production capacity, turning to seasoned producer Matt Bronleewe to craft the overall direction of the tracks.

* It’s the first studio project where Smith has recorded songs he hasn’t written or co-written, turning to collaborators such as Bronleewe, longtime friend Amy Grant, fast-rising songwriter Leeland Mooring and even his own son Tyler Smith for contributions.

* It’s the fastest-paced production effort Smith has been involved with, 40 days from start to finish, necessitated by the early 2006 Smith experienced as he promoted The Second Chance, his acting debut in a feature film.

* Michael has never issued a call like this before.He’s challenged us to Live the Life and inspired us through albums including This is Your Time and Healing Rain. For years, he has led us in worship – but he has never said, “I’m taking a stand. Will you join me?”

Smith will support Stand with a fall tour hitting nearly two dozen cities, as well as his annual Christmastime Symphony Tour, scheduled for 17 cities in November and December.

New Album Due Out November 7th - Titled STAND
Michael's new album is scheduled to be released on November 7th and will be called Stand. This will be his 19th album and was created in a fast-paced 40 day 'whirlwind' of acitivity.

According to Michael, this new album 'is a call to stand for what you believe in. It is a call to stand outside of the walls of the church, rubbing shoulders with the lost. It is a call to stand because you've captured a glimpse of something so powerful you cannot stay seated. It is a call to stand for the One who gave it all.'

'This album is more than a collection of songs; it is an experience. I would encourage you to listen to it all the way through in one sitting. Hopefully, you will be moved and inspired to step out and take a stand.'
