Description
The album was really birthed out of a desire to take some great old hymns and deliver them in a more intimate, soulful, singer/songwriter style.
There are 9 classic hymns on the record, 6 with the original melodies and 3 with brand new melodies. There are also a couple of brand new songs that really have a hymn-like feel to them and fit really well with the vibe of the project. So 11 songs all together. I think the album has a real devotional feel to it.
My hope is that the album will firstly appeal to people who love old hymns, and that the new arrangements will make them sound like songs you're hearing for the first time. I also hope the album will find a market with new Christians, who perhaps attend contemporary expressions of worship, but might never have heard a classic hymn like And Can It Be. - Steve Parsons
