Blasting off with the funky horns of "Jeremiah," this record cooks from beginning to end. Christian Contemporary Music has never been so hip. CCM in general has a reputation for being watered down and unemotional, but this record squeaked through without any dilution at all. Reminiscent in many ways of early Joe Jackson. Flamboyant and funky. Omartian has always been known for great songwriting and great production, but this record is his masterpiece. Standout cuts include "Silverfish," "Fat City," "The Rest Is Up to You," and the title track. ~ Mark W. B. Allender, All Music Guide

White Horse is the title of the first solo album by Michael Omartian, released originally in 1974, on Dunhill Records and subsequently re-released on Myrrh Records as both a single album and as a compilation of White Horse and Adam Again. (Both are now out-of-print.) Integrating elements of funk, gospel, and progressive rock (and utilizing the talents of some of the finest studio musicians and back-up singers of the time), White Horse is considered by many critics[who?] of contemporary Christian rock music to be one of the earliest and most revered albums of the genre.
