Album Info
Man With a Mission is the sixth and final studio album by the Christian rock band Allies, released on April 21, 1992 by DaySpring/Word Records. The album was written, produced and arranged by Bob Carlisle and Randy Thomas.
After the departures of original players, Matthew Chapman (bass guitar) and Jim Erickson (drums), Allies' remaining members Carlisle and Thomas reformed the band with new studio musicians: Mark Hill (bass guitar), Scott Sheriff (keyboards) and Brian Fullen (drums).
Man With a Mission pretty much was a return to their contemporary pop/rock sound of earlier releases but still retaining some of the arena rock sounds of Long Way From Paradise and The River. Their final Christian radio songs were the title song, "In My Life," Grand Facade" and "Feather In Your Cap."
Man With a Mission debuted and peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. After the album was released and a short farewell tour, Allies disbanded. Carlisle focused on his solo career and released his self-titled debut album in 1993. Thomas co-wrote songs with Carlisle throughout the 1990s and in 1997, formed the short-lived Christian rock duo Identical Strangers with vocalist Andy Denton and released only one album. Carlisle and Thomas would reunite the band with its original line-up and toured on occasion through the 2000s and 2010s.
