Why Not Take a Chance

Not since the memorable Keith Green albums has there been an artist that so poignantly and sweetly encourages believers to a closer walk with Christ, and unbelievers to take the opportunity Christ offers for a wonderful life as a Christian. The title song Why Not Take a Chance reminds the listener that Life hangs in a balance and its all about changing and encourages them Lets change it for the better. This album is an excellent outreach tool for friends, family and churches, and has enjoyable inspiration for all. Two of the songs have already won songwriting awards. Wiles clear, expressive, award-winning vocals captivate the listener. Many of the songs are very touching as Wiles describes Christs love for the listener. The songs are very melodic, with hooky lyrics. Wiles excellent musicianship is highlighted as she played blues harmonica, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, keyboards and guitars on the album. The styles include a refreshing mix of heartland rock, country rock, R&B and ballads. Mary Wiles has won a page full of songwriting and vocal awards from the likes of Billboard, Nashville Music City Song Festival, and Christian Artists International. She has been compared with Barbara Mandrell for her ability to play six instruments. She has toured extensively and opened for Loretta Lynn, Tracy Byrd and the 60s hit band The Association.
