[ 01.03.2004 ] New album released
Sacred Journey (An evening with Graham Kendrick) - the new live album recorded on the cathedral tour is now available.

It has often been observed that Graham at his best is Graham closest to his roots - the acoustic guitar troubadour painting words and pictures on our consciousness, inviting us to wonder and ponder and sing the greatest of all stories. Inviting us to sing ourselves into the story, and the story into us. Add choice instrumentalists skilled in interpreting the meaning of words and the emotion of the moment, place them together beneath cathedral architecture and the best is even better!

The specialness of this album is not just that it features fresh recordings of songs from the beginning of Graham's journey, unavailable anywhere else today, right through to more recent compositions and 'classics', but it unites something very personal with a shared experience; one voice and many voices. Intimacy on a grand scale.

Track list:
Led like a lamb
Simon's song (Footsteps on the sea)
Caiaphas and the temple guard
Meekness and majesty
Peter at the breaking of the bread
The servant king
How much do you think you are worth?
O Lord, the clouds are gathering
Thorns in the straw
To you O Lord
Lord the light of your love (Shine Jesus, shine)

Sacred Journey is available from makewaymusic.com for just £9.99 (plus P+P). Click here for more details
