Striving for a contemporary attitude on True North, Twila chose renowned producer Charlie Peacock (of Switchfoot and Audio Adrenaline) to produce the album. His creativity and demands of excellence made Paris's latest a real winner, mixing in piano at a greater volume. Simply put, Peacock's guiding hand made Twila's style change come off well. Songs like 'Wisdom' and 'When You Speak to Me' prove it with their stunning guitar and piano arrangements. Another wise choice was to enlist Scott Dente (Out of the Grey) to play acoustic guitar for the album. While his playing isn't always upfront, you can hear it and it is clear that the music would not have been the same without his guitar playing. Other musicians who stand out are Kenny Greenberg who played electric guitar on Signs of Life (Steven Curtis Chapman), Dan Haseltine (Jars of Clay) who is a guest vocalist on 'When You Speak to Me', and Chris Eaton, who once again delivers awesome backing vocals for Twila.
'Run to You' kicks off the album and pushes Twila's number of #1 singles to 29 in an excellent way. While it is not the same as 'God is in Control', and sounds much like it could have been on Where I Stand, it is a catchy tune which is very uplifting. The title track is up next delivering one of the best moments of the album reminding us of the truth in Proverbs 3:5-6: God will lead us where He wants us to go. 'Delight My Heart' echoes the words of one of the Psalms: 'I will delight my heart in You / All of the joy You give is what I long for'. Undoubtedly the best song on the CD, 'Wisdom' sports the guitar skills of the aforementioned Kenny Greenberg who is accompanied by the cello and violin. The message: God is the only one we can trust, so follow the example of Solomon and ask for wisdom above riches and honor.
