Comment:
This mix was inspired (and, admittedly, heavily copied from) G-Sphere's "Amazing Grace" mix, which is my favorite mix I have downloaded from this site. The religious theme is obvious, but more than that I think there is a theme of sin and redemption which is pretty compelling.Both Emmylou Harris and Iris Dement have put out CDs of mostly hymns, although both are considered to be liberal activists, which I find interesting. In the liner notes to her CD, Iris Dement commented that the songs really weren't about religion, but comfort, and that they were a sort of lifeline through a season of hardship, which is how I think of these songs myself.
I was originally going to end my mix as G-Sphere's ends, with Judy Collins' Amazing Grace, which is one of my favorite songs, but it didn't seem to flow. Also, I recently acquired the amazing new CD from the incomparable Emmylou Harris, All I Intended to Be, and so I had to allow myself to indulge in putting two Emmylou songs on here, which I think is only fair, since the heaven I imagine features her angelic voice!
Full Force Gale, Christian Life, The Maker, Anchored in Love (the original Carters' version), and Look Up are some of my all-time favorite songs.
Feedback:
uplifting!
