"Country show and recording
artist Wiles is a mainstay on the festival and fair circuit from
country gatherings to community events like West Seattle Street and
Bothell Arts. She has a clear voice, is a top multi instrumentalist on
guitar, fiddle, Harmonica, banjo, slide, and mandolin to deliver one
top flight show. Her energy can be seen and heard across the
fairgrounds drawing audiences to the stage. This is her first
gospel album which is more a mixture of other styles like the bluesy
swaying "Worship Avenue" or driving harmonica and vocals on "Ticket To
Enter." The country rock on the title cut asks you to take a
chance on your beliefs. "Little bit closer" is a straight ahead
exploring of getting close to your faith. "Thanks for the Times" is a
warm floating singer songwriter mood. This is just a part
of Wiles country show. Wiles has excellent promotional material
and stunning color pictures that she has developed for Northwest fairs
and festivals. Can't go wrong here with her recording or her
performance."

A superlative and highly recommended example of a
modern Christian CD music album, Why Not Take A Chance by adult
contemporary music artist Mary Wiles mixes heartland rock and country
blues with reflective and beautifully performed ballads that will
encourage Christians to a closer walk with Christ and invites
non-Christians and lapsed Christians to take up the opportunity Christ
offers for a wonderful new life within the Christian communion and
community. Bethany's Bookshelf -
