- About Me
- It’s funny how Bart Millard charted as the top selling new Christian artist in the year that his first solo album, Hymned No. 1, was released. The man better known as the voice of multi-platinum band MercyMe (“I Can Only Imagine”) was foremost aiming to fulfill a promise made to his late grandmother to record the church songs she’d led him to love as a boy. Popular success as a singular act was an afterthought, though much appreciated.
Christianity Today gave the unexpectedly soulful, Deep South gospel-meets-pop, rock, and country set a five-star review, calling it “one of the most enjoyable and varied hymns albums ever recorded. You may have heard it all before, but you haven’t heard Hymned.”
Having had such a great experience all around with that first effort, Millard is back with Hymned Again, this time specifically honoring the wishes of his three children who enjoyed their dad’s record so much they wanted another one.
Such a unified theme perfectly balances the increasngly diversified styles that make Hymned Again, indeed again, a true rarity among modern Christian music albums. Acute listeners have rightfully lauded gamut-running efforts before (David Crowder*Band’s A Collision for example), but it’s safe to say they haven’t encountered many projects—from a contemporary pop-based artist—that open with a Dixieland banjo, proceed deeper into New Orleans flavored horn-led marches and stomping Texas guitar blues, or let a ukulele do the driving at one point without altogether ignoring commercial sensibilities.
