LISTEN HERE: [audio http://rickleejames.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/episode-108_amy-savin-mp3.mp3] Amy Savin is a talented Christian musician who brings back to Christian music a depth of lyric and intricate artistry slightly lost in recent years. The songs are a beautiful hybrid of haunting and striking melodies set to lyrics that are made for fun listening and personal growth. Amy’s voice and songwriting harkens back to the stylings of Nicole Nordeman with the addition of an understated falsetto range not attempted since the quiet ballads of Rachael Lampa. Amy’s music is pleasantly unique thanks to her break-out vocal updrafts that pierce through tracks like “Hide Me”, “Fly Robin”, “Skylines”, and the Ed Cash smash “Hymn 177”. I have a great conversation with Amy and share a few of her songs on this week's episode of the Voices In My Head Podcast.Amy Savin's Web Site: www.AmySavin.com "Freely you received, freely give." -- Matthew 10:8Get a free Easter album with Sheet music from Rick Lee James on NoisetradeEaster Worship Experience 2014 with Rick Lee James on Noisetrade.com[caption id="attachment_2603" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Click Here To Download Album and Lead Sheets[/caption][caption id="attachment_9210" align="aligncenter" width="215"] Get Rick Lee James' Email Updates[/caption][caption id="attachment_9147" align="aligncenter" width="300"] @RickLeeJames[/caption] This is a public episode.
