Music to touch your
spirit. . .
"I might
not be a religious man myself but I know good music when I hear it, and this is very
good! . . . I don’t think that I have ever given such high
ratings to so many songs before. But
the fact is that they are well deserved because the
music is amazing. Simply wonderful religious ballads and they
really get to your heart. . .everytime."
Fredrik Cole: Trax In Space
Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught my heart
to fear, and grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils, and
snares, I have already come;
‘Tis grace hath brought me safe
thus far, and grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there ten
thousand years, bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing
God’s praise than when we first begun.

Vanessa’s inspiring voice savors this classic as only she
can! Her heart-felt rendition over Don’s
bluesy piano and B3 is emotionally-charged and deep.
It is an absolute must!
Song Story
"So the Wigtune Company did it
again! Another wonderful song with beautiful harmonies and not to mention the vocals which
adds something truly amazing to this piece. Download it if you haven’t done so
earlier." Fredrik Cole: Trax In Space
Nobody despised the gospel more than
the slave trader John Newton. However, God
touched Him with His grace and Newton not
only turned his life from sin to God, but became a powerful preacher in early America. It is no wonder, therefore, that he penned one of
the favorite praise songs of all time. Newton’s
tombstone (penned by himself) tells it all: “John Newton, clerk, once and infidel and
Libertine, a servant of slavers in Africa, was, by the rich mercy of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the faith he had so
long labored to destroy.”
Even though his health failed and his
memory deteriorated at the age of 82, Newton declared, “My memory is nearly gone, but
I remember two great things: that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great
Savior!”
This version of Amazing Grace features
an incredible vocal solo by Vanessa. It is a
must!
Amazing Grace has always been my favorite hymn. During my college years the mens chorus
that I was in performed a version of that song that tore me apart. I was not walking with
God at that time, but the words and vocal arrangement ripped right into my soul. That
experience had a lot to do with my turnabout towards God.
Since that time I have been wanting to create an arrangement to the hymn. However, the
opportunity just never came up. Therefore, when we began collecting song ideas for
Vanessas first solo album, Amazing Grace immediately came up. As you may be aware, this
hymn has been put in every context imaginable. . . from pipe organ to country to bagpipe.
When I asked Vanessa how she would like to perform it she asked for a laid-back blusey
feel.
After recording the instrumental tracs I played them for her and she went bananas! It was
just what she wanted. So we immediately took it to the studio to lay her vocal. The song
was so perfect for her that she laid it in one cut. There are a lot of good versions of
Amazing Grace out there. After hearing her sing it, I have become convinced that hers is
right up there with the best.
