"On Desperate Man, Church once again proves his staying power. The singer wrote or co-wrote each of the 11 songs on the project, and as a result, leaves an indelible and personal mark on his listener. Whether he shares his soft side as he reflects on life or details his frustrations with the outside world, Desperate Man has the Chief sharing insecurities we all have faced from time to time. It's this raw vulnerability coupled with stellar musicianship and the element of surprise on each track that has Church on an entirely different playing field from his contemporaries. As long as he keeps pushing himself musically, his loyal Church Choir will be there to listen".
