Overview Edit

The Big Picture is the third album by CCM artist Michael W. Smith, released in 1986. The title comes from "Pursuit of the Dream," in which it's heard a few times, but also applies to the variety of themes for young people to learn about from the songs. That track instructs on pursuing goals, and other themes include the folly of escapism (Lamu), sexual abstinence before marriage (Old Enough to Know), and maintaining a positive self image (You're Alright).

5 stars MWS takes a quantum leap musically with this album.
After a fantastic premier effort and a solid second album, Michael W. Smith goes off the charts with "The Big Picture." Lavish production and driving rock overtures are the keys behind this fantastic recording. It is unlike any previous effort or anything since. By far, "The Big Picture" marks the pinnacle of MWS's early years.

3 stars A Classic
If you like Michael W Smith as he is today - check out this blast from the past of his early works.

Still a good album after all these years.
