You are nothing if not authentic. And this has that stamp, that patina of "genuine" all over it. I remember us talking about you producing "Amazing Grace" for a while, about a year or so ago, so I'm so happy you've finally done it! Bravo.

P.S. love that solo in the middle, but, most of all, your way of singing this. As I said: 100% authentic and 100% moving - had a little tear in my eye, towards the end. Hats off.

I'm glad you saw that, James. It took a while to fill that request, but it finally was completed. Thanks for the kind words. You and your work are inspirational to me!

Ed, you can't go wrong doing what is probably the most popular Christian Hymn of all time! Sounds great! Thanks, Torrey

Man, how many times have we heard that in the rural GA churches we attended growing up.

It's timeless and we enjoyed your interpretation!

Hi Ed,
A really heart-felt rendition of Amazing Grace. The "solo's", especially the first are haunting and very melodic. Your vocal rendition at times reminds me of Willie Nelson. Whenever I have sung this song, I always get choked up on the verse:
"Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home."
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen!

Thanks, folks, for listening and commenting kindly.
Bawb, the closing solo was a step too far, I think.

One of those rare instances where the story of the song's creation is as powerful as the song's message.

Yes, as James says...authentic, a simple setting as nothing more is required when the voice singing that melody is committed to it.


Cheers

My favorite hymn!

I never get tired of hearing it. As others have said, a genuine, heartfelt rendition, the way it should be.

Thanks for listening and commenting, forumsters.
Something in the pipeline for many months; then one day I woke up and, thought, just do it smile

Ed,

You did an admirable job. It takes some courage to sing a song everyone knows and put your stamp on it.
