Amy Grant
Unguarded achieved gold album status in 45 days.
Amy Grant was the first contemporary Christian artist to perform during the 1985 Grammy telecast.
In 1988, Grant re-signed with both Word Records (via Myrrh Records for four albums) and A&M Records. She told RPM (August 6, 1988), "They're both appropriate to what I do. It's really a great relationship between the two companies...It's really unique and yet it works really well. Like they say, I talk about spiritual things, but I also talk about regular life, and I think it takes two companies to distribute that anyway....I felt such a shot of enthusiasm for writing when I thought about finding a new audience for my songs."
LEAD ME ON
"I've never been as pleased with a mix, as I have with this album."
