Ginny Owens has enjoyed a respectable career so far with three Gospel Music Awards, a string of radio hits, and overall critical acclaim. Thus, a greatest hits collection isn't out of the question, though it's only been seven years, four albums, a live recording, and an acoustic EP since her 1999 debut. There's still no denying the strength of this songwriter's material, evidenced by well-written soulful modern pop essentials like "I Am," "I Wanna Be Moved," "Live Once," and "Something More."
Why then does
Owens enjoyably resembles Amy Grant on the funky new track "Open Arms," and a new, more produced version of "Wonderful Wonder" is pleasant, though somewhat unnecessary. Too bad the collection doesn't include "Let Them Hear," the one original track from Owens's out-of-print
A bonus DVD with live material might entice some, but this premature collection relies on songs that fans undoubtedly own at least once already between the original albums, the live disc, and the acoustic EP. For such a great talent, I wouldn't hesitate recommending Owens' individual albums instead of this disappointingly mediocre and incomplete collection.
