Twelve traditional hymns performed with sparse, acoustic purity. Her crystalline soprano anchors a masterclass in high-lonesome mountain gospel and vocal harmony.

Moments Worth Listening For
The breathtaking three-part harmony entrance on Bright Morning Stars that feels like a physical weight lifting.
The way the mandolin tremolo mirrors the vulnerability in her voice during the final verse of Precious Memories.
The rhythmic, celebratory drive of We Shall Rise where the acoustic instruments lock into a communal groove.
