Sara Groves: Painting Pictures of Egypt
I believe that the corporate music world only pays lip service to those who write Christian music. Why? Well, have you heard of Sara Groves? No. Me neither, until yesterday. She sounds so much like secular artists, in particular Kathleen Edwards. They both inhabit the genre of countrified-rock/folk. Whilst Kathleen is on an independent label and can be found on iTunes, Sara is signed to Sony/Epic, and well, that’s about it, unless you head over to Amazon.
But it’s worse than that: rmusictv (still showing on Sky) ran the video for this track yesterday. It’s from her debut album, Conversations, released in 2001. She’s released three other albums since then.
Allmusic has a thoughtful review of her 2005 album, Add to the Beauty.
