A longtime associate of Bill Gaither and his gospel empire, Texan singer Mark Lowry (who also dabbles in stand-up comedy) showcases his baritone croon on 2007's I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY. With its lush, delicate arrangements, the album ably presents the serious spiritual side of Lowry, as revealed on the string-laden title track and a gentle rendition of "Soft and Tenderly."
