NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The highly anticipated Spring Hill Music self-titled debut from one of today’s most prolific vocalists, Jason Crabb, is slated to bow June 30. Produced by Tommy Sims (Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith), Norro Wilson (Kenny Chesney, Reba) and Crabb, the 12-song set also features guest appearances from Vince Gill, Sonya Isaacs and the Gaither Vocal Band.
Highlights of the album include the debut Gospel single, “Walk on Water”; “Somebody Like Me”; “Ellsworth” (with Vince Gill); “Daystar” (with Gaither Vocal Band); “Sometimes I Cry”; and a new arrangement of The Crabb Family classic “Through the Fire.” The project showcases credits from some of Nashville’s top songwriters, including Neil Thrasher; Radney Foster; Randy Goodrum; Gordon Kennedy; and Crabb’s father and award-winning writer Gerald Crabb, among others.
“I’ve always wanted to do a solo project,” says Crabb. “And I am blessed that at this time in my life, I have all the ingredients to create one that I can be proud of—a great label, great songs, great producers and some extremely talented folks to sing on this project.
“I hope whatever the listener is feeling in his or her life at a particular moment, there will be a song on this record that will help him or her find their way through the trial. If someone has a bad day or if they are just feeling a little lonely, I hope they will find strength in this recording.”
Walmart has named Jason Crabb a “July Pick” in its stores around the country, and the release will receive prime positioning at LifeWay Christian Stores and Family Christian Stores, among others. The recording will be featured this summer on numerous television outlets including the Great American Country (GAC) Network, the RFD Network, Gospel Music Channel and Daystar Television Network, among others, in addition to featured positioning and a pre-sale at http://www.gaithernet.com .
Jason Crabb is best known as the powerhouse lead vocalist for one of Southern Gospel’s most acclaimed and awarded groups, The Crabb Family. In addition to 10 Dove Awards and three GRAMMY™ nominations with his family, Crabb has performed on the Grand Ole Opry, at the final Billy Graham Crusade in New York, and has sung with the legendary Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, among many other diverse and prestigious opportunities.
