EXQUISITE AND DEEPLY MOVING...

"I found this album of spiritual songs to be so moving, it brought me to tears several times! It is a wonderful blend of the traditional and the untraditional, with uncluttered arrangement that shifts all the focus to the message contained in each song. It is like a flower garden, filled with so many different textures, rhythms and images; it never tires of surprising the listener. It is exquisite!"
THE JOURNEY is the answer to "road rage"!

"This album of spiritual songs touches the heart and the soul of the listener. I listen to a lot of religious music and the stories and imagery of Ms. Krebs' collection are so beautifully realized, that I can't get enough of it. Every time I play the album, a new song leaps out at me and imbeds itself in my mind. The music is soothing and the messages sublime. Play it during a busy commute and nothing will bother you. It is truly the answer to "road rage"!"
Inspiring, beautifully performed by a dynamic new artist

"I wish I could say that I am a music critic...I only know what I like. I've listened over the years to a lot of "christian" inspirational music, and I've just discovered an artist that really touches me. She has written original material that is profound and yet accessible at the same time...a mixture of the familiar and the unfamiliar. THE JOURNEY by Nancy Krebs should be heard by everyone who enjoys a good story in song. Every song on this album, which traces the Church year, draws the listener into a spiritual vignette, and all of the songs are performed beautifully, with simple arrangements so the emphasis remains on the message. And the messages are deep and very moving. Every time I listen, another song becomes my favorite. I love this album. I hope that Nancy Krebs doesn't stop here!"
THE JOURNEY will take you to God-singing all the way!

"I must admit that I was not a big fan of "religious music" before listening to THE JOURNEY. However, Nancy's songs are so insightful and accessible that I find myself constantly listening to the album. Because each song has it's own flavor, varying from meditational to country to calypso and so forth, you don't get bored of listening to the entire album in one sitting. The messages, images, and biblical insight that Nancy imparts through her lyrics are profound and inspirational. The fact that Nancy wrote all of the songs, sings all of the songs, and plays the varied instruments as well, is a clear sign that God has given her many talents that she is using in His glory and honor. As you take this musical journey with Nancy, not only will you discover how close Nancy is to God, but you will also discover how close God is to you."
