BTW: “This is an album I’ve been waiting to do for years,” Crabb tells P&P. “It offers something for everyone — those who have supported my music for years and those who may be new to the music I record. I have been pretty ‘hands on’ with most of my recordings over the years. This time, I left it to some of the industry’s most respected producers — Jay DeMarcus (of Rascal Flatts), Ed Cash (Kari Jobe, Switchfoot) and Wayne Haun (Celine Dion, Earl Scruggs). They all stretched me in the studio, which is what I wanted.
“When I look at the musicians who played on this album, those who produced and those who were a part of its overall creation, I stand amazed and grateful … and I’m further inspired to go remind audiences everywhere that love is stronger.”
