I always thought that a legacy was something that you left behind when you left. In the case of Ms Grant, for the past 25 years she has been one of the most visible Christian music artists and the development of her career has matched the growth of the whole American CCM genre. Musically, she has been quiet over recent years as the turmoils of her personal life have unfolded, often in the glare of the media spotlight and amidst so many rumours that fact and fiction have been difficult to distinguish. In American Christian music culture, it seems that everyone I meet has an opinion about it all. There are even questions over whether her life choices have actually blotted her own musical and spiritual legacy as a generation of 30 and 40 somethings who have grown up on her music feel let down. The story goes that while Amy was recording her new pop album (release date delayed and sliding as the seasons change) that her management proposed that she should record and release this album first as a celebration of her 25 years in Christian music.
