May 06, 2005: With countless hits and sold-out concerts to his credit it was a safe bet that Jim Brickman's latest would be great - and, it is. Described by the gifted. Brickman himself as "a selection of songs that soothe the spirit and nurture the soul," Grace is a beautiful collage of uplifting songs that represent and speak to different faiths. Baritone Mario Frangoulis (heard during one of Brickman's recent concert tours) offers a lyrical adaptation of "Ave Maria" that is sure to touch hearts, while Brickman himself soars with an interpretation of the Hebrew prayer Ayn Kaylohenu. Michael Bolton's powerful rendition of Brickman's original composition "Hear Me" is incredibly moving. The voice of singer/songwriter Ginny Owens brings new meaning to the beloved "Amazing Grace." All in all Grace is bound to be another chart-topper for Brickman, and a warm, positive, enriching listen for all.

A collection of songs on themes of faith and inspiration, including both familiar hymns and uplifting new compositions, Jim Brickman's Grace features guest artists Michael Bolton, Mario Frangoulis, and Selah.
Like the majority of his oeuvre, Jim Brickman lays down an instantaneously successful combination that assures airplay on adult contemporary stations and feel-good new age programs for years to come. Like his works on his Ballads, Vol. 1 and holiday records, Brickman selects a few of his favorite traditional religious hymns and invites a few guest vocalists to perform on several compositions which helps to break up an otherwise instrumental-heavy record. Contributions from vocalists Ginny Owens, Mario Frangoulis, Selah and Chris Korblein all provide pleasant counterpoints to Brickman's airy piano arrangements. But it's the inclusion of soft rock staple Michael Bolton and his powerful performance on "Hear Me (Tears Into Wine)" that is the icing on the proverbial cake as far as vocal contributions go. While all of the vocalists add a pleasant touch to Grace's overall feel, Brickman's instrumental arrangements are the true stars of the show here, especially with his gorgeous revision of "Ode to Joy" (here called "Joyful") and the stirring "Holy Holy Holy." It's not Brickman's finest album, but it most definitely is an enjoyable addition to his already impressive body of work. Rob Theakston
There's an understated elegance to Brickman's artistry. He can take a song that has been recorded countless times, such as "How Great Thou Art," and breathe fresh life into it. Deborah Evans Price
