Redemption is the eleventh, and to date, final studio album by the Christian rock band White Heart. The album was released on September 23, 1997 and it is their second and final album by Curb Records.
Following the departures of Brian Wooten (lead guitarist), John Thorn (bass guitar) and Jon Knox (drums/percussion) and following up their 1995 album Inside, the group is now reduced to the trio of lead singer Rick Florian and White Heart founders Billy Smiley and Mark Gersmehl and has once again stylized as Whiteheart for this album. The trio has brought in studio musician friends to fill in the rhythm section and have made what critics are calling a redefining album. Redemption is produced by Smiley and Gersmehl with production assistance by Richie Biggs. The album debuted and peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart.
