Released 15 years ago earlier this month, this is the seventh studio album by pop singer Ginny Owens. The album name and cover art is funny to me as I know Ginny Owens is blind and therefore probably does not drive, but that's really not what she's talking about. After four albums with Rocketown Records from 1999 to 2005, Ginny recorded a Christmas album and a hymns album, and then this album of original songs in 2011. I kinda lost track of Ginny Owens for a bunch of years there and only recently picked up this album on CD, and I gotta say I'm glad I circled back to her music; this is the kind of stuff I love from her. The music is mostly piano-based and very poppy, but has a bit of a jazz/blues bent to it. The lyrics are definitely based on her life experiences and talk a lot about her Christian faith. It's clear she wanted to keep making music and worked hard to make this happen, and the lyrics are often about her power to get things done through God's grace and her own determination. I also love the slow, chilled-out cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" that fits well with her own songs here. Unfortunately, this album is not on streaming currently so you might have to find a copy on CD somewhere to give this a listen.
