Ann And Regina McCrary — Uncommon Music

Patty Griffin never expected to make a gospel record. In fact, she figured that “Wiggley Fingers” from her 1998 release Flaming Red effectively ruined any chance she might have had; after all she is a self-described “lapsed Catholic.”

But with Downtown Church, her new collection of spiritual standards (and a couple of originals) she proves she has the soul and the pipes to dabble in the music of Sunday morning services and stained glass windows like the ones in Nashville’s beautiful Downtown Presbyterian Church where she recorded the album.

Buddy and Julie Miller - Written in Chalk

Five years since his last solo album and nearly a decade since their last full album of combined efforts (though they each contribute on the other’s solo work), Buddy and Julie Miller are past due for a new set of tunes.

Their newly released Written in Chalk skillfully blends the talented couple with a living-room full of their highly competent friends for a magical 12-song journey.
