Singer/pianist Ginny Owens to release 'Say Amen' project
AMERICAN singer/songwriter Ginny Owens will have her latest independent
album 'Say Amen' released soon in the US. The project "chronicles
music of faith from the past three centuries." The title track was
co-written by Owens and Ronell Ragbir, a 21-year-old Trinidad native
who was receiving treatment for cancer at St Jude Children's Research
Hospital. Said Owens, "The record is a collection of original
material, old Shakers and spirituals, well known hymns and modern
versions of old favourites. Initially, it was going to be a simple
project of hymns for friends, family and fans who have encouraged me
to make such a recording for years. But after nine months of work, the
project had become something bigger."
