The shading on John Schlitt's face is somewhat messed up, but one only thinks about that if they've seen the first picture.

Other musicians
Joining Schlitt and Smiley in the studio is Anthony Sallee of Whiteheart on bass, new artist Jason Fowler on guitar and vocals, Steve Brewster (Peter Cetera) on drums, Jonathan Crone on guitar, and John Ellis, lead singer from Tree63, on guitar and vocals.

Smiley is producing the record and bringing in on select songs an all-star cast of musicians including Brian Wooten (Whiteheart, Trace Adkins) on guitar, Chris McHugh (Whiteheart, Keith Urban) on drums, Brennan Smiley (The Technicolors) on guitar, Peter Furler (Newsboys) on drums and vocals, and Dave Ellefson (Megadeth) on bass.

Richie Biggs (Whiteheart, Petra, and The Civil Wars) is mixing the record.

It still looks like a bad Photoshop job even without the context of the first picture.

Way different than I was expecting. I thought it hokey at first, but once they got to the instrumental bridge, it grew on me. Pretty solid stuff by the end.

I believe the "Weed" record you're referring to is Revival (aka "Petra Praise 3") not Vertical Expressions (aka "Petra Praise 4") by II Guys from Petra.

The dandelion on the album cover is a pesky weed. Not really the best symbol for a Christian record given the biblical references.
