Friends in High Places is the fourth album in the live praise and worship series of Christian Contemporary music by Hillsong Church.[1] In 1999 the album was certified gold by Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipment of 35000 units.[2]

Making of the album

Friends in High Places was recorded live at The Hills Entertainment Centre by Geoff Bullock, Darlene Zschech and the Hillsong team. This album is the last album on which Geoff Bullock appears. He left the church later that year (1995).

The Majority of the songs were written by Geoff Bullock, Russell Fragar & Darlene Zschech.

Reception

In December 1997 Peter Dilley of Cross Rhythms rated the album as 9 out of 10 and distinguished between the group and their contemporaries in United States and United Kingdom: "what sets Australian-sourced recordings apart from many US/UK worship releases is not so much their innovation as the unrestrained energy and vitality - if they're getting into a groove they really do make it funky".[3]
