With the release of The Analog Sessions on March 26, Shawn McDonald continues to solidify himself as one of Christian music's most respected and soulful troubadours. A true artist in every sense of the word, McDonald entered the music scene in 2004 with Simply Nothing and has since released three additional studio recordings Ripen (2006), Roots (2008) and last year's critically acclaimed Closer. For The Analog Sessions, McDonald selected 9 cuts off previous albums (in addition to two brand new songs) to receive the Analog treatment - recorded with full band live in the studio direct to tape on fully restored analog tape machines and consoles with tons of vintage gear. The result is an album full of fan favorites that have been re-imagined and recorded with a warmth and organic sound that only comes with this type of thoughtful production. Die hard fans will be thrilled to see songs going all the way back to McDonald's first album included among them ÔǣTake My HandÔÇØ and ÔǣGravityÔÇØ plus some of his biggest radio hits to date including ÔǣCloserÔÇØ and ÔǣCaptivated.ÔÇØ As an added bonus for fans there are also Ôǣradio versionsÔÇØ of new songs ÔǣWhat Are You Waiting ForÔÇØ and ÔǣThrough It AllÔÇØ included on the full length album that get the full pop treatment rounding out the 13 track collection.
