Free Music Notes for Rock of Ages...Hymns & FaithFree Music Review: Great stuff Hit: 5 StarsAs usual, Amy Grant puts together another amazing album. I grew up with her music and find it inspiring each time I listen. It is nice to have her version of these songs.
Free Music Review: Too Much Vince, Not Enough Amy Hit: 2 StarsAmy Grant's albums used to be ground-breaking, fresh and innovative. Not any more. She has lost her identity to Vince Gill. How sad. What more can I say?
Free Music Review: not as good as legacy Hit: 2 Starsit's ok if you love country mucis mixed with hymns.
it's the continuation of legacy but it's definately not as good as legacy.
It's ok i guess, nothing "WOW" about it though.
Free Music Review: Musically and Emotionally Awesome CD Hit: 5 StarsI did not grow up on hymns.....so I am not familiar with any of these songs but they have me hooked. Amy Grant along with the producing skills of Vince Gill and Brown Bannister have done an awesome job of presenting these works of art. They've included pop songs also and still are able to make the whole CD flow together. The Vince Gill guitar playing and Amy Grant's alto voice are just treats for the ear on this CD. I can't believe I'm enjoying music written in the 1600 to 1800's.
If you play this CD even the background, you will find yourself more calm and peaceful. It's a treasure of a CD.
Free Music Review: I'm Blown Away! Hit: 5 StarsTravel back a hundred years or so, step through the doors of a small-time, backwater, clapboard church, and you'll be caught up by the soulful sounds of Amy Grant's latest disc. From the opening track, Amy lays her heart on the line with nuanced vocals. Sinner, saint, martyr, or scapegoat...she has endured through the years, despite her flaws, by clinging to her faith. And this is nowhere more evident than in "Rock of Ages..."
Although I've never been a huge Grant fan (I bought this one for my wife), I could not help being touched by the raw truth and power in these songs. She imbues "I Surrender All" with a joyful willingness; she blends "Jesus Loves Me" and "They'll Know We are Christians" with lyrical and musical purpose; and she incorporates the straightforward simplicity of her father's voice in "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus." The selection of hymns and lyrics drawn from the 1800s and early 1900s is outstanding. The newer tunes are wonderfully woven into the album's tapestry. When Amy sings "Tell me Thy secret, help me bear/The strain of toil, the fret of care...O Master let me walk with Thee," we know she means every word.
For those who have stood beside her, for those who have struggled with her decisions, it is time to see her heart through the lenses of this album. While her wounds are real, her healing is God's daily miracle. Indeed, He is the "Rock of Ages." We can all find comfort in that.
