The name John Schlitt is most often synonymous with Petra. And rightly so, at least when considering the twenty year run the artist had with the group that included thirteen studio albums (nine in a melodic hard rock vein, three of the rock praise variety and one acoustic) and one live CD/DVD. His solo material might not be as well known but deserves every bit as much acclaim. Starting with Shake in 1995 and Unfit For Swine from a year later, Schlitt took a twelve year hiatus prior to returning with The Grafting in 2008. The Greater Cause, his most recent solo outing, hit the shelves in the spring of 2012.
Musically, the artists press material has built up The Greater Cause as a “return to his rock roots”, which it does to, well, a certain extent. Yes, the album can hit hard, as it does on the seven tracks taking a commercial melodic hard rock heading, but can also mellow out for the four others approaching things from an acoustic rock standpoint. It adds up to a best of both worlds scenario that has its good and bad points.
