Dennis Quaid is #1 on the Christian Chart for the First Time

Dennis Quaid

Grammy®️ Award winner and two-time Golden Globe®️ nominee Dennis Quaid's new faith-based project, Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners debuted at No. 1 on the Top Christian/Gospel Albums chart. Fallen had a landmark first week on the Billboard Top 200 Christian/Gospel chart, too: It landed in the Top 15.

"I always identified as a Christian. Even when I was addicted, I was still praying," Quaid says of the project, according to Forbes. "When you're addicted to cocaine you can't get any sleep and I would scream at God at night, making promises I couldn't keep, and asking him to take this away. But I was trying to do things my own way. We try different things to fill that hole inside us whether through money or fame or sex or drugs or whatever. I was on that path, and it wasn't until I got off cocaine that I actually began developing a personal relationship with Jesus."

Fallen was executive produced by Quaid with producers David R. "Fergie" Ferguson, Ben Isaacs and Chris Lindsey. The Isaacs and Jackson Brumley supply background vocals on "I'll Fly Away," while The Oak Ridge Boys join Quaid on "Life's Railway to Heaven."

Originally released on the soundtrack for Quaid's faith-based film I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, "On My Way to Heaven" was inspired by the global superstar's public grapple with addiction. Quaid also vulnerably acknowledges these personal struggles and his subsequent return to Christianity on songs like the title track.

Fallen follows Quaid's 2018 album, Out of the Box, described by Quaid as a junkyard of American music. Though he loves writing, recording and making movies, music holds a special place in the Texas native's heart, and for the last four decades, he has toured extensively, displaying equal ease on the piano and acoustic guitar. Quaid enchants audiences with a set list that ranges from songs such as those included on Fallen to rock 'n' roll standards like "Great Balls of Fire!," an homage as "the Killer," who he portrayed in the 1989 box office smash.
