Brand New Start (1982)

Brand New Start is the debut album by the Christian rock band Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart. Released in 1982, it was their one and only album on MCA Records' Songbird label. Although no Christian radio hits were released from this album, songs like "Child of the Father" and the title song were their earliest hits. A music video was made for "Stranger to Danger," one of their stronger songs on the album. It was produced by LeFevre, Dean Harrington and Joe Hardy and features guest musicians Eddie DeGarmo of DeGarmo & Key on the keyboards and organ, Phil Driscoll on trumpet and flugehorn and John Hampton played drums on all tracks.
