About the artists.
Big Daddy Weave entered the studio for the fifth time in their decade long career with a singular mission – to create a collection of songs that might somehow communicate the word placed on their hearts to the hearts of those who hear it. It might have been easier to simply try to recreate the success of their previous hit songs, such as “Every Time I Breathe” or “Audience of One.” Instead, the band set out to craft the most ambitious and varied album of their career by doing what they’ve been doing all along – refusing to compromise while stretching the artistic boundaries of what a Big Daddy Weave record is supposed to sound like.
Selah. When the members of Selah chose to record “It Is Well with My Soul” and “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” for their 1999 album debut, BE STILL MY SOUL (Curb), they had absolutely no idea how such potent hymns would help them through unfathomable tragedy a decade later.
Sure, Selah knew the remarkable circumstances under which the timeless classics were written. How Horatio Spafford penned “It Is Well with My Soul” after all four of his young daughters died in an 1873 disaster at sea. And how, in 1932, renowned musician Thomas A. Dorsey composed “Precious Lord, Take My Hand” out of grief when both his wife and infant son succumbed to complications during childbirth.
The second release, “Press On”, written by Dan Burgess and nominated for Song of the Year, came out right after 9/11. A line of the lyric says “When the choices are hard, when we’re battered and scarred, when we’ve given our all, In Jesus’ name we Press On.” That song has encouraged so many people.
