But don\u2019t think they have wimped out at all &#8211; the style here is still the Wales Road signature blend of hard rock, blues, and new wave influences. Since I didn\u2019t grow up in church, it wasn\u2019t that hard for me to separate most of these songs from the original versions, but your mileage may vary depending on attachments to older arrangements. For instance, I didn\u2019t quite connect with the acoustic\/Americana rendition of \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d, but really liked \u201cChrist The Solid Rock\u201d \u2013 probably based on more on personal attachment (or lack thereof) to the songs. The first \u201chalf\u201d of the album is mostly electrified, while the second \u201chalf\u201d is mostly acoustic. There is also a cool radio interview tacked on the end. For fans of re-imagined classic hymns projects, or of the Wales Road mix of sounds, this album is a great new addition to your collection.<\/p>\n[2013 Independent | Purchase:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/walesroad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">walesroad.com<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wales Road returns with an album of updated classic hymns.
