Christian of the World is the second solo studio album by Tommy James and was released in 1971. It reached #131 on the Billboard 200.[2]
Many of the songs were a more open exploration of the artist's Christian faith, something which he has said had informed a number of his earlier works, but with the religious elements more obscured to make them palatable for Top 40 radio.
The album had four singles that charted. The biggest hit was "Draggin' the Line" that reached #2 in Canada,[3] #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #6 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart.[4] "I'm Comin' Home" reached #19 in Canada[5] and #40 in the U.S.[6] "Church Street Soul Revival" reached #55 in Canada[7] and #62 in the U.S.[8] "Adrienne" reached #93 in the U.S.[9]
