Letting day-to-day musings dictate his pen, singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson veered from his recent discography of concept albums to pursue more spontaneous writing for his latest project. And rather than discover some cerebral theme subconsciously tying each track together, the husband and father of three intuitively circled back to the basics—relationships. Producing the mostly acoustic record with Ben Shive (Sara Groves) and Andy Gullahorn (Jill Phillips), Peterson remains unafraid of the nitty gritty of communion with God and man. And what others hear as dirges of human despair, Peterson's imagination transforms into fantastical carols of hope.
