Description
Glory Road is the fourth album by the American singer and songwriter Trace Balin, released in Europe on Spark Music in 1994, distributed by GMI Music Partners. The album was recorded by Joel Balin at Village Crossing Studio in Atlanta, Georgia; and at The Pond in Nashville, Tennessee; with Trace and Joel Balin producing. Mixed by Joel Balin.
I think Europe, or more particularly Holland, or more particularly still the Dutch Christian music scene, deserve our heartfelt thanks for giving Trace the support base to record this magnificent album. For as her curate’s egg albums of old prove the Nashville CCM industry can be a thoughtless cloning machine and it took Europe’s warm appreciation of the gospel blues to encourage Trace and her guitarist/bassman husband Joel to produce this magnificent album. With a style at times uncannily like an early Bonnie Rait, Trace with gritty, soulful assurance rasps, growls and sweetly hollers her way through a set of excellent songs (mostly co-written by Trace). The ballad «Faith Is A Travelin’ Thing» seems a little out of place in this context but it’s a beauty none-the-less. Fine singing, hot playing (guitarist Pat Buchanan is a clear maestro) and a supremely honest, enriching album. [Tony Cummings, Cross Rhythms, December 1994]
