If you haven't heard of Ginny Owens before, you will! She is a phenomenal musician with quite a story:
"Born and raised in Jackson, Miss., Owens was discovering melodies on the piano almost before she could complete a sentence. Songs began to emerge from her fingers as the vision began to leave her eyes and by the age of three. A degenerative eye condition left Owens completely blind.

Ginny's music ranges from soulful, jazz-like piano riffs to high energy r&b. Whatever manner Ginny is creating music, you will hear the tenderness of her heart and faith emerges. Ginny's latest album (her 9th!) entitled "Get In, I'm Driving" is funky, energetic, and soulful. It was the best album I've heard in quite some time. There were some songs that made me exclaim "yes, girl, sing it!" and others that literally forced to me sit down in silence because of the truth she was singing. I am thankful for Christian artists like this who help us come closer to our faith and touch our hearts.
