'''''Fresh Surrender''''' was [[The Archers (musical group)|The Archers]] fourth studio album and third [[Light Records]]<ref>{{cite web|last=Callahan|first=Mike|title=Light Album Discography|url=http://www.bsnpubs.com/word/light/light.html|work=Both Sides Now|accessdate=15 December 2012|author2=David Edwards |author3=Patrice Eyries |date=17 April 2003}}</ref> release. It and its title song were nominated for a [[Gospel Music Association]] (GMA) [[Dove Award]], and claimed an astounding seven airplay hits for the [[Jesus music]] stars.[https://web.archive.org/web/20080413055058/http://pages.prodigy.net/steveund/archers/home.htm] Perhaps more importantly it signaled a marked change for the band, both in sound and appearance. It was recorded on the departure of two founding-members, [[Billy Rush Masters]], who wrote the song “Fresh Surrender” and Nancye Short-Tsapralis who had been linchpins in the creation of the group’s sound and writing team for six years. Now a trio with sister, Janice Archer, who had been traveling with the combo for some time, The Archers took off in a new direction that would define them for the rest of their career.
The project was arranged by [[Elvis Presley]]'s original [[TCB Band]] [[keyboardist]], [[Larry Muhoberac]] who went on to co-produce The Archers' next album, ''[[Stand Up! (album)|Stand Up!]]'' also released by Light Records.
Once again, the band was joined in the studio by an elite group of Los Angeles recording musicians, including [[Steely Dan]] alumni Ben Benay, [[Dean Parks]], [[Lee Ritenour]], [[Wilton Felder]], [[David Hungate]], [[Mike Baird (musician)|Mike Baird]], and [[Jim Keltner]].
