Album Of The Day: My Jesus by Anne Wilson

Album Art of Anne Wilson's My Jesus album - A color photo of a young, white woman with shoulder-length blond hair standing in some brown grass and leaves with a pond behind her and a tree with brown leaves to the right, and off in the distance is a brown grass field and a line of trees before the horizon. The sky is a bright grey, not blue, so seems to be a thick layer of clouds. The woman is standing in the foreground with a golden brown, frilly dress on and holding an acoustic guitar. In the top left, printed above the sky is the artist's name in large gold letters with fancy capitals on each first letter and then much smaller below is the album title.

I remember about 20 years ago one of my relatives asked me why there was no "Christian" country music artists. I responded with a few thoughts he didn't like, such as "CCM artists are a bit country already" and "most country artists already are Christian to some extent, some more than others." Now I have a bit more respect for country artists and occasionally listen to this genre, so maybe I could answer it better now. But it seems like the Christian music industry, now a ghostly shadow of what it once was, finally had a label that decided to sign a country artist recently. Released 4 years ago yesterday, this is the first album from Anne Wilson, one of the first country artists on a major Christian music label, in this case Sparrow Records aka Capitol Christian Music Group. It sounds to me like some decent Nashville country that is also a bit poppy with a lot of Jesus messages in the lyrics. Songs like the title track highlight her energy and her excellent vocals, and on this album there's two versions, one with Crowder on the end. There's also a song featuring Hillary Scott that honors the "Mamas" in our lives. Do I love this album? Not really, no. It's not bad but it's not really my style. But I listen to it on occasion; it's not too bad and is pretty up-tempo, so if it sounds like something that is up your alley, maybe you should check it out.
