Sarah Hart has worked with The Daughters, but this is one of her solo efforts and it's a real beauty. The 13 tracks offer "an intimate self-portrait - glimpses into the rooms of her life" (as her website puts it). There are beautiful string arrangements, fine piano playing - especially on "For A Little While" (a song about her new-born baby) - and some excellent guitar work: but what else would you expect with Scott Dente and the incomparable Phil Keaggy guesting? Mr Keaggy gets to work on "The Hillside" and creates a wonderful backdrop to Sarah Hart's vocals, reminiscent on this track of the mature Kate Bush. The lyrics are articulate and, on some tracks (notably "So We Will Worship"), very worshipful. She duets with co-writer Curtis Stephan on a version of Psalm 91, "Be With Me, Lord" and there is a superb song dedicated to the funeral choir at St Mary's Church, Lanchester, Ohio entitled "Go In Peace", which would grace any funeral service. There's a deep Catholic spirituality that runs through the songs and Jeff Thomas' production married to Sarah's wonderful voice makes this a real must-have album.
