Recorded at East Iris Studio, The Parlor and Oceanway Studios, Nashville, Tennessee, and Air Lyndhurst, London, England. Long before the Christian pop movement began exploding in the late '90s, Amy Grant was at the forefront of the movement, one of the first singers to show that pop music sensibilities could be successfully mated with spiritual concerns outside the realm of gospel music. Ironically, it's the gospel tradition that Grant returns to on LEGACY: HYMNS & FAITH in order to celebrate her 25th anniversary as a recording artist (hard to believe it's been so long, isn't it?). Though she draws mostly on traditional spiritual material here, as the album's title indicates, the production is consistently innovative. The atmospheric treatment given to "Softly and Tenderly" wouldn't have sounded out on place on Emmylou Harris's Daniel Lanois-produced WRECKING BALL album, and it's a safe bet that "My Jesus, I Love Thee" has seldom been given a full-blown Celtic treatment before. Grant's obvious committment to this material is matched step by step here by her mercurial artistic spirit.
Album Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (5/31/02, p.109) - "...There's sure enough stylistic doversity - American Celtic rock, and Lanoisesque chamber music, as well as Sunday-morning solemnity - to make LEGACY transcend your average trip down Methodist memory lane..." - Rating: B
