A Hymn Revival
An organic, vibrant collection of hymns that brings out both the reverence and celebration of the hymns. Part vigil. Part revival.
The Lower Lights convened in fall 2009 for five days of recording. The goal was to dive into the hymns– familiar hymns, overlooked hymns, Hank Williams hymns, and more– and connect with them on a deeper level. Drawing equal parts reverence and celebration from the rich well of hymns, we ended up with 30-plus songs that felt part-revival, part-vigil. And we ended up with more than just an album. We ended up with an experience.
Review:
I've had this CD for a year now, and is a favourite, across genres. Judging from the style of this CD, it happened spontaneously, so I hope the "revivalist spirit" grabs them again soon to do a follow-up; there are still many more hymns suited to this treatment. Pure joy.

I downloaded "This Little Light of Mine" as a free download. Each time I listen to it, I find myself singing along and smiling. Delightful.
