LAY IT DOWN was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album.

Kansas native Jennifer Knapp does not look down from an elevated, judgmental plateau. She does not preach. Her music's spirituality is as earnest as it gets, but it is tempered with a humanistic sense of understanding. In her songs, Knapp explores the imperfections, or "glitches in our souls," as she sings in "Lay It Down," the title track on her sophomore album.

Elements of folk, alt-rock, blues, and country blend seamlessly on LAY IT DOWN. Vocally, Knapp forgoes production tricks for a sound that is raw, confident, and dynamic, as displayed in the imagery of "Diamond in the Rough." Gentle mandolin and understated supporting vocals by guest Margaret Becker accentuate the longing described in "When Nothing Satisfies You." Knapp sings from the heart of humility and the feelings of unworthiness associated with sin in "A Little More." With LAY IT DOWN, Jennifer Knapp bridges the gap that so commonly exists between Christian music and mainstream pop with a healthy dose of excellent songs.
