Songs From The 23rd Psalm

‘Traveling Light’ is a compilation inspired from Max Lucado’s 6th book of the same name, taken from a series sermons derived from the 23rd Psalm. Said to be the most read verse in the bible.

Musically the album is a cross between folk and acoustic pop with a couple of ballads intertwined throughout.

Kicking off the album is the title track ‘Traveling Light’ an acoustic folk pop song by Joel Hanson (of PfR) and Sara Groves, it is always a pleasure listening to Joel, and Sara compliments on vocals very nicely. Amy Grant follows with a ‘Good Shepherd’ a hymn like ballad. The breathy vocals of Jaci Velasquez in the acoustic driven ‘In Green Pastures’ speaks of being refreshed in the quiet time with the Lord. Third Day’s Mac Powell with Ashley Cleveland on background vocals sing ‘Mountain Of God’ which builds greatly into a powerful worship song and proves to be one of the highlights on this album. Fleming and John combine sweet harmonies with an atmospheric ballad on ‘Savior Like A Shepherd Lead Us’. Michael Tait’s (Tait & dcTalk) ‘Follow Me’ is the rockiest tracks on the album, and another album highlight. Closing the album is ‘Rest In Me’ comprising of soft piano and the gentle vocals of Derri Daughtery.

‘Traveling Light’ is chock full inspiring songs by inspired artists and what better to be inspired by than the Word of God. With the all-star line-up that this album boasts, expectations are definitely going to be high, thankfully it doesn’t disappoint.
