Album Of The Day: The Collection by Sara Groves

Album Art of Sara Groves's The Collection album - A painting that seems to be painted on top of bits of papers that have to do with records. The paining is of a record player with a lid and and outer shell that looks like a briefcase with a handle. The top is up and there's a record on it but the needle is off to the side. There are three or four other records out next to the record player, most in some sort of brightly colored sleeve. Written on the blank wall behind is the artist's name in large, orange print. And the album title is in black below in much smaller print.

Released 12 years ago yesterday, this is the best of Sara Groves, one of Christian music's best singer-songwriters and the only artist that I know of who lives only two miles away from my house. (I was a fan before I knew she lived in the area, though.) Sara Groves writes piano-based pop with a jazzy bent, and definitely has a God-given gift for melody and rhyme. She sings beautifully and honestly about the struggles of life and also God's love, grace, relationships with friends and family, and much more. If you've never heard her music, I highly recommend you listen to this, as it collects some of her best songs from the first 15 years of her music career. It's a two-disc compilation of songs from her first 9 studio albums and though it does not have my favorite song of hers, "Loving A Person," it is still a great collection. If you like this, start listening to her albums after that and find even more great songs from Sara.
