Music reviews of Legacy: Hymns & Faith

Music Review: Old Country Churches
Rating: 5 Stars

This is a wonderful collection of old-time Christian songs of faith from Amy Grant. Magnificently produced by husband Vince Gill, it is at once artistically beautiful yet simply presented so that the words of faith are not overpowered by the productions. Grant made this album to commemorate her roots in Christian music and has lovingly rendered all those songs she sang with her grandmother in church in a way which would make her proud. Gentle and restful, this lovely collection is full of hope and faith.

1) "This is My Father's World" - This song has a ferris wheel kind of rhythm that ponders on the happiness of living in God's world in all its beauty.

2) "My Jesus, I Love Thee" - There is a Scottish Highland kind of feeling to this selection as Amy sings of love for Jesus.

3) "Softly and Tenderly" - Amy perfectly captures this haunting call for the weary to come home to God.

4) "I Need Thee Every Hour/Nothing But the Blood" - The heartfelt "I Need Thee Every Hour" blends effortlessly into the rollicking tent revival duet of Amy and Vince on "Nothing but the Blood" that will have you feeling as though you should be up on your feet and clapping your hands together.

5) "What You Already Own" - I am not sure if it was intentional or coincidence, but I could not help thinking of how Amy was abandoned by some in the Christian community for not being perfect. This gentle lament of sometimes being unfaithful and doing wrong and looking to God for strength shows his spirit remains with those with faith, which is played out in our lives.

6) "It is Well With My Soul/The River's Gonna Keep on Rolling" - This beautful blending of songs flows water rushing gently over stones, as Amy sings of God's love being like a river that keeps forgiving, and makeing us realize it is not possesions that are our legacy, but our lives.

7) "Do You Remember the Time" - This song captures that longing we all share for an innocence we once had, and an encouragement to hold on to how we once felt, when we were kids, and heaven seemed real.

8) "Fields of Plenty/Be Still My Soul" - A melancholy guitar solo turns into a haunting admonition to leave things in God's hands, culminating with a heartrending voiceover by Amy.

9) "Imagine/Sing the Wondrous Love of Jesus" - Amy's imagining what it will be like to see and be in His Glory ends in a brief ode to her love of Jesus.

10) "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" - This great church hymn, with it's terrific background vocals and country flavor, makes you feel like you are driving by an old country church during a different era.

11) "Fairest Lord Jesus" - This is a guitar driven song of uplifting praise, and once again, makes you think of being in church.

12) "Holy, Holy, Holy" - This is a beautiful song of love for God akin to like looking out over a glorious vista of His creation.

13) "What a Friend We Have in Jesus/Old Rugged Cross/How Great Thou Art" - Traditional church songs are beautifully melded together, and offer a nostalgic longing for the faith of simpler times.

14) "Marching to Zion" - The ending of a church service, and that Scottish Highland feel of cut #2, return as Amy ends this wonderful album with an uplifting church hymn, choir and all.

This is a truly wonderful collection of songs borne of faith that has a special feeling of old churches in the country and gatherings in small towns to sing praises. It is a very special CD that crosses boundaries and can be enjoyed by anyone who loves music. It is a reminder to those to us all that God is never far way, if we choose to let him in our lives. A beautiful album.

Description of Legacy: Hymns & Faith

Amy Grant, Legacy...Hymns & Faith

With a career retrospective boxed set and a new CD reportedly full of new material scheduled for release later this year, Amy Grant certainly appears ready for new horizons. But first she pays tribute in fitting form to her earliest influences with Legacy... Hymns & Faith, whose limited-edition version contains a DVD with videos and interviews. There's a sprightly effervescence in tracks like "This Is My Father's World" and "My Jesus, I Love Thee," mostly due to the strong country-folk influence of new hubby Vince Gill. "Softly and Tenderly" is rendered nearly perfect by Grant as the age-old classic of redemption is laid down in a moody atmosphere. Transition seems like the motif of this release, as Grant deftly merges one classic into another, as with "It Is Well with My Soul / The River's Gonna Keep on Rolling" and "What a Friend We Have in Jesus / That Old Rugged Cross / How Great Thou Art." All in all, Grant pays homage to the hymns that have carried many a church service for decades and the music that has carried her through some tough moments in life. --Michael Lyttle
