BEC Recordings takes a radical detour for the third entry in its Any Given Day worship series. For Old Soul For New Voices, worship leader Andrew Bray has created new but faithful arrangements of many classic hymns and old gospel favorites.

The resulting collection is something so drastically different than anything BEC has done before. Old Soul features thirteen songs, comprised mostly of old hymns, with piano-driven, contemporary arrangements. Bray and his fellow players prove themselves quite competent, with enjoyable -- even playful at times -- musicianship. While I think it would be going too far to say that they "breathe new life" into these classic songs, they still manage to create an atmosphere of fun and sincerity.
