Album Of The Day: My Eyes Are Open by Mission House

Album Art of Mission House's My Eyes Are Open album - On a solid black background, written in white in a marker-like handwriting font is the album title in large text, with the band name in smaller text. Even smaller below that is the words 'Live - Acoustic' as well. In the bottom right is the Running Club Records shield with a bird logo, and a very small copyright text and the words 'live acoustic album from mission house' in an italics serif font.

Released 5 years ago today, this is the first live album by female worship duo Mission House. Folk-pop artists Taylor Leonhardt and Jess Ray both have solo singer-songwriter careers, but as Mission House they write and record new songs for church worship services. They are often very simple, sing-able songs sung passionately in praise and worship to God. After releasing a few short studio albums in the few years before this, this recording is a live, acoustic worship session. Jess and Taylor take turns singing lead and have great harmonies throughout. A number of guests appear on this album including Andrew Peterson, Skye Peterson, Sarah McMillan, and Josh Baldwin. It's not exactly clear if there was a live audience there joining them in worship, as I don't hear them singing along much on this recording, but maybe they were just not miced-up well. These are solid new songs for church and this is well worth a listen.
