Classic songs that sound better than ever Newly arranged for this project and enhanced with key modulations, expansive pop and classical vocal overlays, and intricate acoustic and electric guitar accompaniment, these songs sound better than ever. Highlights include Bernadette Farrell's 'God beyond All Names,' Bob Dufford's 'Sing to the Mountains,' and Tom Booth's 'Here I Am.'
Featuring outstanding studio musicians John Michael and his fellow musicians clearly had fun with this project. 'I always enjoy pulling out the steel string,' John Michael commented, 'to add to my more traditional classical playing. I thoroughly enjoyed using the vintage electric guitars myself, and calling in some of the finest session players as well.' Veteran orchestrator and producer Phil Perkins contributed lush orchestral arrangements.
"It was a pleasure and an honor to set these songs to music" 'Through all this we hope that we have worked together to produce a rich project that will reach meaningfully into the hearts of those who heard these songs at important points in their spiritual journey,' adds John Michael.
