Jason Gray’s singing career spans 19 years with Centricity Music, and the Minnesota native’s songs have featured various hits over those years. Gray reworks 12 favorite songs in his latest recording, Greatest Hits (Acoustic). “Though the album is acoustic, we wanted it to feel full—rhythm, low end, some sparkle—with the acoustic guitar at the center: percussion from the guitar body, discreet bass and a little kick where it made sense,” Gray said in a release. “The sparkle came from organic instruments such as dulcimers, banjos, strings, piano, etc. Each of these songs came alive in a new way.” The record offers two former top-five songs in “Remind Me Who I Am” and “Good to be Alive. Other popular selections include “Blessed Be” and “Sparrows.” The chorus for "Remind Me Who I Am” states: “Tell me, once again; Who I am to You, who I am to You; Tell me, lest I forget; Who I am to You, that I belong to You; To You.”
Although the acoustic sound is a lighter than usual sound for Gray, the lyrics remain strongly raw as Gray writes and sings about life’s hard moments and God’s leading hand. (Centricity Music)
