Beautiful Psalms Project
Posted April 16, 2024
By BPence,
The All of My Days EP by Ellie Holcomb (daughter of legendary CCM producer Brown Bannister), is a beautiful collection of seven Psalms that have personally carried her through difficult times as well as played an encouraging role in the lives of her listeners through her “Memory Mondays” where she sings Scripture verses to songs each week.
The instrumentation on these songs is acoustic and minimal, matching Holcomb’s tender vocals. On this project, Holcomb partnered with her father and with Jac Thompson, her keys player.
Here are a few comments about each song:
