Songs from Bright Avenue is Bob Bennett's fifth release.

The album was made in the shadow of Bennett's divorce from his first wife.

The normal [procedure] in Christian music is that if you go through a divorce, you simply go underground for a year and show up with a new spouse, and no one's the wiser.

When Songs From Bright Avenue came out, I realized that this was not going to be the 'Hey-let's-buy-a-big-bag-of-Fritos-and-invite-the-gang-over' type of record.

Songs from Bright Avenue was released by Urgent Records in 1991.
