Classic hymns such as "Down By The Riverside" and "The Lord's Prayer" are given an awesomely refreshing infusion of Americana and Celtic-like roots rhythms that make them sound novel and very relevant to the day and time in which we live. The spare arrangements, a little banjo here and a loose piano there, allow us to hear Greer's uniquely lean yet emphatic vocal quiver that is well-suited to these creatively inspiring arrangements. This, as a whole project, is one of the best sacred music albums I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.
