Check out the buzz below on the current single from "Traveling Light:
Songs From The 23rd Psalm," the album based on Max Lucado's
best-selling book. The title cut, performed by PFR's Joel Hanson and
Sara Groves, is climbing up the charts and generating some talk:
Dallas Morning News The lead-off track, with Mr.
Hanson backed by Ms. Groves, deals more generally with laying burdens
down. And it does so catchily; with laid back vocals and a great
guitar line, it's a hit.
CCM The light pop, often acoustic-driven album
carries a consistent soothing quality. Joel Hanson croons the upbeat
title cut, while Sara Groves offers haunting beautiful background
vocals. The song nicely sums up the book's theme of laying down
burdens we were not meant to carry.
Crosswalk.com The title track sets a laid-back tone
that fits the album's theme of casting our burdens on the Lord. Joel
Hanson takes the lead on vocals and delivers a fine performance, but
the track is a great example of how supporting vocals can bring an
added dimension to an otherwise straightforward recording. Sara Groves
provides just the right backing, adding to the song's sing-along
quality.
ChristianityToday.com Traveling Light is a terrific
compilation that ranks with City On A Hill, Streams, and My Utmost For
His Highest
