Ginny Owens has been one of my favorite artists for the last ten years. Her music helped me through the most trying time in my life. One song in particular still wraps God's arms around me whenever I hear it. And now, after five years, she has come out with her ninth album! I was so excited to hear it was being released and that I was going to have a chance to review it!!
From her website:
Born and raised in Jackson, Miss., Owens was discovering melodies on the piano almost before she could complete a sentence. Songs began to emerge from her fingers as the vision began to leave her eyes and by the age of three. A degenerative eye condition left Owens completely blind. Despite her physical challenge, Owens pursued a music career. Songs provide a window into a world Owens can’t see and an outlet for her to express her thoughts and dreams. Owens’ unique musical style and inspirational lyrics continue to appeal to Christian and mainstream audiences alike.
Isn't she amazing? Her soulful sound mesmerizes me from the first note.
You can check out her website, get to know her on Facebook and Twitter and download her music on iTunes. "Get In, I'm Driving" releases today, Tuesday, September, 13, 2011.

Christian music has helped carry me though many difficult times. We hear songs now and remember the days when they were our theme songs. I sometimes get a message from old friends that say, "We sang Lauren's song at church this morning and thought of all of you."
ReplyDeleteI like to listen to music to dance and exercise to and that helps my mood and my body stay in shape.

Oh I do so much worship through music. There are times that I get more from the music part of our church service than our pastor's sermon (and he has some really impressive sermons!).

My son has a hard time getting to sleep every night - lots of anxiety and worries. He listens to praise music - turned up way too loud - to help him find his place of security at night.
