Nathan Tasker is a native of Australia where he was named that country’s “Christian Artist of the year” back in 2006. This is his second release since relocating to the States. He’s recorded some of the older hymns in the Christian canon.
In the linear notes, Nathan says, “Each (song) reminds of a real hope upon which a real life can be built-solid and sure; they all center our attention on Jesus. We just sometimes need a reminder of the things these hymns never forget.”
This is a wonderfully understated record, many of the songs are composed of Nathan’s sweet voice and a guitar. It’s a perfect companion for mediation and letting go. The hymns include “Come Thou Font,” How marvelous,” and “Just As I Am.”
I recently saw Nathan perform “It Is Well” in my church and it was so stunningly beautiful that I was knocked over.
Definitely worth tracking down.
