Music Review: Pulling It Out Again Reminds Me Why I Don't Listen to it Much
Rating: 2 Stars
I first bought this CD back in 2005 when it came out. I gave it a few listens and then stuck it away. I decided to pull it out again and give it another listen. Now I remember why I had listened to it in four years.
Yes, part of the problem is me. I'm not a big hymns CD person. I'm not sure exactly why since I love hymns and have several CDs of them that I enjoy listening to when the mood strikes. This CD focuses in on some of the lesser known hymns. Yes, we've got "Rock of Ages" and "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus." But we also have "Sweet Will of God" and "Abide with Me." They just don't appeal to me as much as the songs I already know.
But then there's the style. I'm not a Country of Bluegrass fan, so you can imagine the problem when I put in the disc and immediately notice the twang of opening track "Anywhere with Jesus." It's even worse on "Rock of Ages" and "Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus." Amy obviously let husband Vince Gill have free reign with the production, and that was a poor choice on her part.
Having said that, there are a couple tracks I do like. The slightly updated version of "El Shaddai" is beautiful, although it does through me off when she changes the wording slightly.
The best song here is the only original track, "Carry You." It's also one of the lesser Country selections. This Amy Grant original is a song of encouragement straight from God to those who are struggling. It was worth pulling the disc out again to rediscover.
Aside from that one song, however, there truly isn't much of interest here. Unless you absolutely must own every Amy Grant CD, feel free to skip this one.
