15 Best of 15 Years (1991)

15 Best of 15 Years is the official second compilation album by Christian singer - songwriter Chris Christian, originally released in 1991 by Home Sweet Home/Word Records. This collection contains 13 of Christian's best radio hits and favorites covering his first 15 years of recording including a duet with Christian's daughter Courtney on a specially-arranged version of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," plus two brand new songs recorded for this collection: "Actions Speak Louder Than Words" featuring guest vocals by vocalist Eric Champion, whom Christian was an executive producer on his self-titled debut album and "The Voice" featuring guest vocals by musician Eric Tagg. Christian dedicated 15 Best of 15 Years to his son Preston, as he wrote in the CD liner notes that his son "one day will enjoy hearing how I spent my time before he came on the scene. I hope he will enjoy Dad's music for the next 15 years as much as I have already enjoyed having him around." 15 Best of 15 Years is currently out of print. A YouTube playlist is posted below this article.
