Avalon

Faith: A Hymns Collection
Sparrow Records

Avalon is back with an album of classic hymns that breathes new life into old standards.

The quartet’s versions of songs such as “I’ll Fly Away,” “The Solid Rock” and “Holy! Holy! Holy!” meet the challenges of these spiritually compelling anthems of the faith with the spine-tingling emotion reached on the best of Sundays. Avalon has stood at the front lines of Christian contemporary music for 11 years and never wavered in its execution of God’s praise. Its new record is simply more of the same.

This 13-song collection is worthy of not only the fans of this dynamic group but also of those who prefer the feel of The Baptist Hymnal to the glow of Sunday morning PowerPoint.
