Touched (Michael Sweet album)

Touched is a Michael Sweet solo album self-released in 2007. Unlike most of Sweet's previous albums, the album is influenced by classical sound (rather than his usual rock or metal sound).[1] The album is dedicated to his wife, Kyle, who was suffering from stage-four ovarian cancer.[2]
