Hit: 2 Stars
I was thrilled when I first heard about this album. However, my excitement quickly faded during my first listen to this album. This project had great promise. In the past Amy was second to none at turning songs into classics. The biggest problem with this album is that it sounds DEAD. Amy used to sing with such conviction, passion, and sincerity. I didn't feel those qualities on this album.
I think I would of also enjoyed this album more if she didn't incorporate so much country music into it. Several of Amy's previous songs had a touch of country in it (such as "Tennessee Christmas")and it worked for those songs, however I feel as if she went into blue grass/country overdrive here.
I really wanted to like this one.
On a side note..... Things did get much better on her second album of hymns "Rock of Ages", where she appears to have come back to life and move and inspire me with her songs once again.

Hit: 5 Stars
I love how Ms. Grant has interpreted these songs and has made them her own. They are heartfelt, sincere, and personal. Her music is made for the average person, not the pious. She has had the courage to experiment with different styles and has not been afraid of the criticism that is always sure to follow. She has also included her personal experiences and shared them for us to relate. Her "Baby" songs were written for her (and all) children. I wish more mothers would care as much for their young. She has the capability of singing country, r&b, and pop - now that she is not managed by her controlling monger ex-husband. Her music is more mature. Her most meaningful music in the past, in my opinion, has been overlooked. Her success has made her a "free" artist to sing whatever she desires.Free Music Review: A Good Collection
Hit: 4 Stars
Amy Grant has put together a group of hymns that are done in a modern way with a good sound.
Two of the songs that I think that she did very well are 'My Jesus, I Love Thee' and 'Softly and Tenderly'. One song that I don't think that she should have attempted here is 'I Can Only Imagine'. Perhaps it is just that MercyMe has done such a phenomenol job on that one, but Amy's version is not a great one.
Overall, I enjoy this album. For those who enjoy a modern sound, I would strongly recommend 'Redemption Songs' by Jars of Clay. It is really incredible.
Free Music Review: important effort
Hit: 3 Stars
Tis cd is important for Amy Grant in a couple of ways. First, it attempts to reconect with her base of fans, some of whom never quite understood the pop diva persona. More importantly it is an effort to connect with her roots, the songs that nurtured her faith and the faith of those close to her. Unlike many others who have done recasting of hymns (2nd Chapter of Acts comes to mind), for the biggest part this succeeds, in part by staying connected to the real core of the song.
The recasting of This Is My Father's World lets us in that for the biggest part we aren't talking radical restructuring of the hymns but an evolutionary process. Other highlights are Imagine, What You Already Own, It Is Well With My Soul, Fields of Plenty. There are no real clunkers
I higly recomend this cd
