Days of Grace, the sophomore album from Greg Long, is one of the singer/songwriter's strongest efforts. The 1995 Myrrh Records release combines CCM and Christian adult contemporary styles with Long's distinctive, and at times vulnerable, vocals. Produced by John and Dino Elefante, Days of Grace is primarily an album of encouragement. "You'll Get Through This" offers hope in painful experiences, while "Joy," with a pulsing beat and downplayed musical arrangement, speaks of joy even in the midst of life's valleys. Also included is "I Promise You," a song of devotion in marriage. ~ Ashleigh Kittle
