Hymned

MercyMe frontman Bart Millard steps out on this incredible project that breathes new life into some of the church's most beloved hymns. Those who grew up singing these tunes will appreciate his respect for tradition. Yet he brings a contemporary vibe to the proceedings that makes these classics seem

new again, especially on tracks like the jazzy "Sweetest Name I Know." Veteran Russ Taff joins Millard for a potent version of "Precious Lord, Take My Hand," while "MawMaw's Song (In the Sweet By and By)" is a new track on which Millard pays homage to the influence of his grandmother. Millard's voice possesses an authority and passion that works beautifully on this material. —Deborah Evans Price
