CD Review: Bart Millard “Hymed Again”
In honor of his performance this past Friday night on “Country’s Most Famous Stage” The Grand Old Opry I thought it was only fitting that I review Bart Millard’s (lead singer for Mercy Me) new solo project called “Hymned Again”.

I thought the exact same thing…all really soft and slow songs. This project is way beyond that. While I’m not familiar with most of these songs there are a few that I know and really like.
