August 20, 2008: On her latest album, Tammy Trent manages to be simultaneously musically effervescent and lyrically deep. The production is light and breezy, making this an infectious pop collection that will grab the listener by the ears. The dominant theme is hope shining through the darkness, and Trent, who lost her husband in a 2001 scuba accident, delivers it with authority and compassion. &quot I'm Letting Go&quot is a poignant song of surrender, while &quot You've Already Shown Me&quot serves to remind us that God amply demonstrates his love. But the centerpiece of this collection is the achingly vulnerable ballad &quot Edge of the Water,&quot penned by Trent and Alisa Childers. This is powerful music from a survivor who continues to move forward with a sweet spirit and a voice filled with unfailing hope and faith. &#8212 Deborah Evans Price
