Nashville, TN... April 1, 2010… Amy Grant’s long awaited release of new music, Somewhere Down the Road, is receiving a standing ovation from media, radio and fans alike as the album streets this week. Somewhere Down the Road is also the current No. 1 album on the Christian & Gospel iTunes ® chart.

Critics are praising Grant’s first collection new music in six years. Below is just a sample of the review feedback.

– Billboard magazine

“These songs sound right for today’s Grant. Somewhere Down the Road once again bravely broaches the here and now with candor while also pointing out hope on the other side. For the music world, Amy Grant is a treasure. This record seconds that notion.”
– ChristianityToday.com/music

“Real, honest, and beautifully done, Somewhere Down the Road is a story worth hearing again and again.”
– JesusFreakHideout.com

“Amy's music shines bright as simplified, polished, honest stories that you can embrace, and her first new album in seven (7!) years is no different… Let's hope this is the start of renewed passion in her illustrious career.”
– NewReleaseTuesday.com

Grant is will be traveling all across the US this week in support of Somewhere Down the Road. She has been visiting major radio stations such as KLTY, FISH and JOYFM as well making in store appearances in Atlanta, Dallas and Sarasota.

Her first radio single since 2003, “Better Than A Hallelujah,” is already climbing the charts and being very well-received at radio. With spins increasing weekly, program directors everywhere are talking about how great it is to have Grant back on radio with an amazingly powerful and meaningful song::

“Wow! What a gift to have Amy back on the airwaves,” says Carmen Brown, of the Joy FM’s Morning Cruise in Tampa, FL. “It's like reuniting with that old friend, and even though some time has passed, you haven't missed a beat. I experienced that reunion this week with Amy & our listeners. ‘Better Than a Hallelujah’ is such an honest song. It articulates the message that our faith isn't about simply waiting on the goose bumps & good days. It's based on God's faithfulness in the hard times and loving us despite the mess we are.”

Later this week, Grant will be speaking with Nightline, Guideposts.com, Premiere Radio Networks, Fox News Network, SELF Magazine and more as well as performing on the CBS Early Show on Saturday morning and taping a performance to air on Fox & Friends Easter Sunday.

Amy currently graces the cover of CCM magazine’s April digital issue.

The thousands of fans on Grant’s facebook page are also communicating their love of Somewhere Down the Road saying: “Amy I am listening to Somewhere Down the Road from Mexico City, It is amazing, Just God gives inspiration to us for serving the world! God bless you.” “Just bought Somewhere Down the Road on iTunes ®. It's beautiful, amazing, and inspiring. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself, Amy!” “I have been a devoted fan of yours since the beginning of your career. Every time you have a new album, it becomes my favorite. This one will be no exception. I am really enjoying it, and I have no doubt it will give needed support and encouragement to many people. You are such an inspiration. Wishing you many, many blessings. ?” Somewhere Down the Road is a potent collection that takes the listener on a musical journey that reverberates with messages of resiliency, promise and hope. The 12-track set includes six new songs, two previously unreleased tracks from her musical vault, a newly recorded version of “Arms of Love,” and three songs from her catalog.

Amy Grant’s career spans over 25 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality, and philanthropist. Grant has sold more than 30 million albums and won six GRAMMY® Awards in multiple categories, beginning with the platinum selling Age to Age in 1982. She also has six #1 hits, including “Baby, Baby,” and “Every Heartbeat” and is one of only two Christian artists to be awarded a star on the legendary Walk of Fame in Hollywood. Grant released her first live recording in 25 years with Time Again...Amy Grant Live in September 2006, and then announced her first ever label shift to EMI Music Group where her entire music catalog was re-mastered and released via a GREATEST HITS CD and made available for the first time digitally. Last fall she released her first new Christmas music in 9 years, THE CHRISTMAS COLLECTION, which in addition to four new songs, features tracks that were hand-picked by Grant to include the best songs from her previous albums that result in a classic Christmas album reminiscent of the Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, etc. albums of old.
