PS. Ginny guested on my upcoming record, Angel Band: The Hymn Sessions – available for pre-order now @ andrew-greer.com!

Highlights of Angel Band: The Hymn Sessions include the title track and “Softly and Tenderly,” featuring renowned bluegrass singer/songwriter Sonya Isaacs; “Jesus Paid It All” and Greer’s original “I’ve Been Searching,” with Gospel music icons The McCrary Sisters; “The Lord’s Prayer” with Ron Block (Alison Krauss & Union Station); “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” a duet with Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Cindy Morgan; and “I Am Thine O Lord/Near The Cross,” with Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Ginny Owens, among other selections.

“I can’t recall many of the sermons my pastor preached, or the lessons my Sunday School teachers taught, but I do remember hymns,” Greer says of his inspiration for the project.  “In fact, if it hadn’t been for the impact of those indelible tunes, I may have never fallen in love with music, or been introduced to God.”

“Artistically, this record is most indicative of the sounds I love,” he continues.  “The musicians involved are a comprehensive list of personal influences. But the songs—they are what count. These hymns opened my heart to God. Their verses and melodies continue to cultivate a conversation between my best Friend and me.”

Andrew Greer is an accomplished singer/songwriter and respected music journalist.  His 2009 critically-acclaimed debut, Open Book, is a collection of introspective original selections he penned following a season of spiritual reawakening.  As a writer, Greer’s stories have appeared in Christianity Today, CCM, and ParentLife, among other notable publications.

Angel Band: The Hymn Sessions is a MA’M Recordings release.  For further information, visit www.andrew-greer.com or www.turningpointpr.com.
