Newest Release By Ginny Owens

Ginny Owen's latest cd, Get In, I'm Driving is a song that speaks to many of her own personal issues, but also appeals to others with its universal message. Her first studio release in 5 years, the songs have more of a jazz feel to them. That normally is not my favorite style, but I admit it has grown on me as I have listened today. The title cut has a touch of irony considering that Ginny is blind, but also serves to underscore that we need to let God be the "driver" in our own lives. "Joined At The Heart" is sure to become a fan favorite. I especially loved the line "...part of a greater story, written by the Author of miracles and stars"!

"Lay It Down" had a great beat to it, as well as a timeless message that we don't have to carry our own burdens. I also loved her cover of "Higher Ground"; it had a bluesy feel to it that really resonated with me. Now I am torn over which song is my favorite: The upbeat "Daughter Of Destiny" captures my attention with each playing. However, the final track, "The Song" has a poignancy that really appeals to me. Bottom line, all of the songs are good!

 Besides her talents as a musician, I love the way she serves God in other ways. I know I remember her involvement with recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina.  In 2005 Owens launched The Fingerprint Initiative, a hands-on, non-profit organization designed to “bring hope to the world, one project and one touch at a time.” The organization has partnered with  and raised money for groups such as Compassion International, International Justice Mission and Habitat for Humanity.
