We recorded this album in 2002 after we had been playing together a little over a year.  The title cut, "The Greatest Thing" was written by Steve Broughton before The True Believers came into being.  Please give Steve credit for this powerful song if you choose to perform it or play our recording for an audience or use the lyrics for any purpose.
