Acclaimed husband/wife duo and Difference Media recording artists
Aaron & Amanda Crabb return August 26 with Restore, their first
new studio recording in three years. Produced by Aaron Crabb, the
13-song set reflects the couple’s recent journey, from launching and
pastoring a burgeoning church near Nashville to the birth of their
fourth child.
Restore showcases Aaron & Amanda Crabb’s signature harmonies
and modern country influences, featuring four selections co-penned
by the couple. The project opens with the nostalgia-laden “Time
Flies.” “Being a mom of four, ministering at a growing church and just
being a woman in general, you begin to realize how quickly time
slips by you,” Amanda says of the inspiration behind “Time Flies.”
“It’s one of those songs that just brings perspective in the crazy,
busy, mean world that we live in, reminding us to take in every
moment that we have because we won’t get them back.”
Other highlights of Restore include the title track, a stirring
melody carrying a vulnerable prayer written by Amanda;
and the swampy “Two Coats,” with Aaron’s sister Terah
Penhollow on vocals and his twin brother Adam Crabb on
harmonica. The album also features two powerful worship
anthems: “Kingdom Come” showcases a bridge written by
the couple’s 9-year-old daughter Eva, while “Your Blood” has
quickly taken root in the family’s new church, Restoring Hope.
“I am driven to Inspirational songs, songs that can relate to people in their everyday lives, the personal things they go through,”
says Aaron of the project’s overarching theme. “Music is powerful.
A message and a melody can sometimes do what a sermon can’t.”
