The Edge Of The Divine

The Edge Of The Divine

Sandi Patty

CD

August 31, 2010

Top tracks: “Times Like These,” “When Life Gets Broken,” “All to Bring You Glory”

Thanks to her popular Women of Faith tours, high-profile TV performances and sold-out symphony concerts, Sandi Patty is once again one of Christian music’s busiest ladies. But the iconic vocalist is more than an in-demand performer. She’s also a great storyteller. Using personal messages from her same-titled book to structure a musical storyline of grace and redemption turned to celebration and praise, Patty infuses her latest CD with immense vocal heart. Aside from two classically-based tracks, Chance Scoggins (Addison Road, Mandisa) produces a surprisingly hip musical aura for the living legend, proving that Patty’s still versatile and relevant even after thirty years in the biz.
