Todd Ballard

Anthems
New Day Christian Distributors

Todd Ballard, founding pastor and worship leader at Red Rocks Church, Golden, Co., just released his debut national project, “Anthems.” True to its name, the record is an impressive collection of praise anthems driven by an equally impressive lineup of players, writers and producers. 

Otto Price produced the new project, with mixing by Ainslie Grossor and mastering by Brad Blackwood. Ballard wrote or co-wrote all the songs on the new CD, except for his touching cover of Delirious’ “Find Me in the River.” The song “Closer to Me” takes a little different direction than most of the album, thanks to beats from producer DJ Frank E.  

It would be a mistake to assume Ballard’s new project is a remake of his worship leading style at Red Rocks Church. Ballard describes the songs as “anthems from the heart … each song is an anthem of the way I love God.” Time will tell if we agree with Ballard’s vision.

Overall, Ballard has produced a solid debut album.
