The honeyed vocals of Nashville's Leigh Nash helped put Sixpence None the Richer on the musical map. Now just in time for Thanksgiving, Nash announces she is releasing her first solo project in five years, "Hymns & Sacred Songs" on Nov. 15 on Kingsway with EMI CMG Distribution in the US. The project includes a Thanksgiving hymn.
"Hymns & Sacred Songs" is the first of three albums planned by Nash on Kingsway. The songs include new hymns mixed with classics which are given a new treatment -- often bluegrass and sometimes a little funky. The timeless lyrics of hymns by Charles Wesley, Fanny Crosby and other writers of old, have been given fresh life with Nash singing and writing newly inspired melodies. Songs like "Blessed Redeemer" have a familiar Sixpence feel to them while other songs like "Be Still My Soul" have an Alison Krauss vibe.
Releasing in November in time for Thanksgiving, the project also includes the Thanksgiving hymn "Come Ye Thankful People Come."
“I am so very thankful for the opportunity to sing these words and even get to infuse some of them with new melodies,” says Leigh Nash. “It is a gift above any I can presently think of, to sing to my God! The musicians, producer and engineers are all so gifted and the songs so rich in word and melody that my feet were dancing and my heart was constantly lifted throughout the recording of this record! I pray you will have the same symptoms!
Both Leigh Nash and "Hymns & Sacred Songs" producer, John Hartley, live in the Nashville area.
