Inside is the tenth album by the Christian rock band White Heart and the band's only album with John Thorn on bass guitar and also the final album for both lead guitarist Brian Wooten and drummer Jon Knox. The band stylized its name as Whiteheart for this album.^[1][2] It is the first of two albums released on Curb Records.^[3] The album was produced by Ken Scott, whose producing and engineering credits include the Beatles, Elton John, Supertramp and David Bowie.

Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms gave Inside a perfect 10 out of 10 saying that Ken Scott's production is "state-of-the-art with the tracks having a dynamic resonance that only big studio budgets can produce while several songs are from the top drawer. The title track with screaming wah-influenced lead guitars and trippy multi-tracked vocals; a cool and subdued ballad "Speak Softly" (with vocal by keyboardist Mark Gersmehl); and "Ritual" a broody rocker with a Hammond B-3 sound and an anthemic chant of "dance, dance, dance" are all wonderful. Let's hope mainstream music giant Curb get their investment back on the lads. Either way they've helped the Nashville rockers make a cracking Christian rock album.^[5]
