After years of being relatively quiet, Christian music star, Amy Grant, has made up for it. In 2013, she released \u201cHow Mercy Looks from Here\u201d that featured special duos with Vince Gill, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow and others. Last year came \u201cAmy Grant in Motion: The Remixes,\u201d which featured new dance music spins on some of her more popular music including \u201cBaby, Baby\u201d and \u201cEvery Heartbeat.\u201d This month comes \u201cBe Still and Know…Hymns & Faith<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHymns & Faith\u201d features many tracks from previous albums including \u201cLegacy…Hymns & Faith,\u201d \u201cRock of Ages…Hymns & Faith\u201d and \u201cHow Mercy Looks from Here.\u201d Grant is not usually considered a country singer, but when you put all of these tracks together, including two new ones produced by her husband, Vince Gill, this is definitely a country album. However, with that said, Grant does some nice contemporary touches including a slightly faster tempo to the music making the \u201cold\u201d hymns sound new. The best example of this is \u201cThis is My Father’s World.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPower in the Blood\u201d and \u201cBe Still and Know\u201d are the two new tracks. \u201cPower\u201d will no doubt be favorite as it is fast-paced and has a bluegrass sound to it. Just about impossible not to slap your knee while listening to it. \u201cBe Still\u201d is a peaceful reminder that sometimes it is best to just sit, be quiet and let God do his thing.<\/p>\n

The best song on the album by far is \u201cDeep as it is Wide\u201d which features Sheryl Crow and Eric Paslay. The three voices harmonize beautifully. The album also features the Grant standard, \u201cEl Shaddai.\u201d<\/p>\n

While most Amy Grant fans will be able to appreciate this album, it is a safe bet that only those truly fond of hymns and country music will enjoy it the most.<\/p>\n

This collection features these 15 songs:<\/strong>
\n1. Power In The Blood
\n2. Be Still And Know
\n3. Jesus Take All of Me (Just As I Am)
\n4. Rock Of Ages
\n5. Carry You
\n6. This Is My Father’s World
\n7. El Shaddai
\n8. Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
\n9. It Is Well With My Soul\/The River’s Gonna Keep On Rolling
\n10. My Jesus, I Love Thee
\n11. Deep As It Is Wide
\n12. What A Friend We Have In Jesus\/Old Rugged Cross\/How Great Thou Art
\n13. ‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus
\n14. Softly And Tenderly
\n15. Holy, Holy, Holy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
