Album Of The Day: Men And Angels Say by Ashley Cleveland

Album Art of Ashley Cleveland's Men And Angels Say album - In the middle is what looks to be a photo of a white woman sitting on a wood floor taken from above. She is looking off to the left. Above this is a painted a brown, jagged line that kinda builds a roof over her or something. On the right edge of that line is painted black and the album title is printed there. And around the whole thing is a painted circle, making it look like some sort of porthole or spyglass or something. Above the photo of the woman's lower body is a black painted line and the artist name is printed there.

Released 20 years ago last month, one of my favorite vocalists of all time released this album of all hymns. It's hymns that most Americans are familiar with, but done in a beautiful Gospel rock style. I like her original songs a bit more than this, but it's fun to hear her amazing vocals shine on these hymns. Her husband Kenny Greenberg also does great work on guitar and as co-producer plus Steve Winwood joins Ashley on "I Need Thee Every Hour". A few of Ashley Cleveland's albums have had a hymn or Gospel song on them, and it is a treat to hear her sing more of the great hymns.
