Description

A Place to Stand solidified Geoff Moore’s role as one of Christian music’s premier AOR and melodic rock voices. From the energetic title track to the heartfelt “Tender Hearts” and the infectious “A Friend Like U,” the album delivers both drive and devotion. “Standing in the Gap” became a staple of Christian radio, offering a spiritual rallying cry wrapped in glossy guitars and big choruses. Bob Hartmann, Rick Florian, John Schlitt and Dave Perkins make an appearance on A Place To Stand. 

Possibly the most fascinating pieces of this great AOR melodic rock album by Geoff Moore is that Dann Huff (Giant/Whiteheart) contributed to the guitar work but has gone un-credited for years, until now. Our recent conversation with Billy Smiley (producer) confirmed that there were efforts to make this more Bruce Springsteen like and give it more guitar work so he brought in session musician Dann Huff and Roscoe Meeks (twenty twenty) to help with guitars. Bob Hartmann, Rick Florian, John Schlitt and Dave Perkins also made appearances on A Place To Stand. 

Geoff Moore, CCM's top AOR artist, released 5 album during the 1980's. In 2020 we remastered three of them, Where are the Other Nine? (1984), Over The Edge (1986) and The Distance (1987). 

We are excited to present the next two albums from the 1980's Geoff Moore & The Distance—A Place to Stand (1988) and Foundations (1989) —now available for the first time in over 35 years on remastered CD as part of our Legends of Rock™ series. Both albums have received the full Girder treatment, which includes audio remastering by Rob Colwell and redesigned layouts by Scott Waters. 8 page booklets in a jewel case with trading cards. Limited to just 300 units each, these CDs are essential for fans of Christian AOR, melodic guitars with big choruses.
