Some albums don’t just define an artist’s career—they define an era. Morgan Cryar’s 1986 album, Fuel on the Fire, was one of the most impactful AOR and CCM rock releases of its time. Now, nearly four decades later, this classic album has been remastered for the first time and reissued in a Collector’s Edition that delivers everything fans could want.
Louisiana-born Morgan Cryar is widely known for his thoughtful songwriting and strong melodies, making him a standout artist in the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) scene. His 1984 debut album, Keep No Secrets, introduced him to Christian radio, but it was 1986’s Fuel on the Fire that made him a household name.
With anthemic rock hooks, bold lyrics, and high-energy production, Fuel on the Fire fit right alongside the biggest names in Christian rock—artists like Petra, DeGarmo & Key, and White Heart. Its lead single, "Pray in the U.S.A.," became a cultural moment, mirroring Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. while delivering a message of faith and national prayer. The song even earned a Dove Award nomination for Best Video.
Following the album’s success, Cryar toured extensively, sharing stages with Petra, DeGarmo & Key, and other CCM legends, performing in front of thousands of passionate Christian rock fans.
Originally released in 1986 by Star Song Records, Fuel on the Fire was a perfect blend of arena rock energy, melodic hooks, and lyrical depth. The album’s crystal-clear production and guitar-driven sound made it stand out, setting Cryar apart from his contemporaries.
Fuel on the Fire delivers a mix of bold rock anthems, introspective ballads, and spiritually charged messages.
* Faith & Perseverance: Tracks like "I Need the Rock" emphasize unwavering faith in Christ as the ultimate foundation.
* Breaking Free: Songs like "Break the Chain" challenge listeners to release their burdens and find freedom in faith.
* Courage & Conviction: Pray in the U.S.A. calls believers to stand firm in prayer and live out their faith boldly.
* Relationships & Redemption: Sibling Rivalry and Under the Rug tackle personal struggles and the power of forgiveness.
Beyond its bold message and powerhouse production, Fuel on the Fire featured some serious rock credentials, including:
* Ty Tabor (King’s X) – Guitar
* Dug Pinnick (King’s X) – Bass
* Kemper Crabb (ArkAngel, Atomic Opera) – Additional instrumentation
These musicians added an authentic rock feel, creating some of the most electrifying guitar work in CCM at the time.
