Early 2003 Graham embarked on a sell-out tour of some of England’s finest cathedrals, playing to over 10,000 people. In the inspiring setting of these beautiful places of worship, the evenings produced many special moments and, thankfully, the tape was running. Post-tour, the material was deemed so strong, that the songs were sifted and ‘Sacred Journey – an evening with Graham Kendrick’ emerged. Indeed, the material represents not only a musical journey but Graham’s own journey, over thirty years of proclaiming the love of Christ through music and words.
The albums distinctive is simple; Graham arguably at his best and closest to his roots; the acoustic guitar troubadour painting word pictures on our consciousness, inviting us to wonder and ponder and sing the greatest of all stories. Add choice instrumentalists skilled in interpreting the meaning of words and emotions of the moment, place them together beneath cathedral architecture and the best is even better!
However, this should not be mistaken as simply a ‘fans’ album, nor a straight evolution from ‘What Grace’ or ‘Do Something Beautiful’. Consistent with the events where it was recorded, this albums raison d’etre is to convey a clear and powerful message utilising the power of music and song to both tell the story and respond to it as a shared experience. In recognition of the evangelistic heart of this vision, the decision has been taken to sell the disc at the price point of £10 from launch.
The album features not only fresh recordings of original performance songs from the beginning of Graham’s early singer-songwriter days, unavailable anywhere else today, but also more recent compositions and ‘classics’; it unites something very personal with a shared experience; one voice and many voices. This is intimacy on a grand scale.
