“Valley of Shadow and Light” presents the perspective of one who knows dying is only a doorway to life beyond. The lyrics express an anticipation, an excitement, at the prospect of what lies beyond the grave. The joyful bluegrass cadence of the music invites the listener to join in the celebration. Imagine an ebbing earthly life flowing into the glory of an eternal life to come. The album, produced by Gordon Mote, includes collaborations with John Chisum and showcases twelve original songs full of rich, emotional depth.
