To capture the most authentic sound and emotion possible, Chris August and producer Ed Cash decided to track Chris's third and most recent studio album The Maker live, resulting in a studio recording which channels the energy and worshipful vibe that one experiences seeing Chris in concert. These new songs are a wonderful return from one of my favorite singer-songwriters, as they are all straight from the heart of someone who has experienced what it means to walk in the valley as well as the mountaintop, after a head injury from his skateboarding accident left Chris addicted to pain killers and dealing with depression as he weaned off of them. His need for Jesus is urgently and sincerely expressed in song after song, and his awe of his Maker is beautifully captured in the title track.
