Blessed Assurance

Guy chose these hymns because of their power to touch and renew your soul. Featuring “There Is Power In The Blood,” “The Love Of God,” “I Surrender All” and “In The Garden,” this all-new collection spotlights his unmistakable, rich tones and country-influenced style that have graced stages from The Grand Old Opry to Carnegie Hall . 

These fresh arrangements invite listeners to sing along to timeless lyrics of eternal truth and hope.

GRAMMY ® and DOVE Award-winning artist Guy Penrod is an amazing vocalist to be sure. But Guy is not just a singer, he’s a personality.

By appearance alone, Guy has a signature look that is recognized around the world. From hair to height, belt buckle to boots, piercing eyes to engaging grin, Guy is a presence that is easily recognized. Beyond that, there is substance behind the style, because Penrod’s authenticity causes people to listen to what he has to say. Guy’s rasp-tinged country style vocals and experience on stage over the years, have given him the ability to be relaxed and confident in every setting. He has a stage presence that few can pull off.

“I’m kind of simple when it comes to that kind of stuff. I just figured that it’s full of Christmas songs, so there’s nothing better than just calling it Christmas . When I did an album of hymns, I called it Hymns , and when I did a worship album, we called it Worship . It makes sense, so we’ll just go with it,” he says.

The singer tells Billboard that the meaning of the holiday is quite simple. “The first thing for me is that it’s a birthday celebration for Jesus. I think it’s silly to have all the controversy that we have nowadays about saying ‘Merry Christmas’ and trying to take the birthday boy out of his own birthday. That’s the most important reason for the celebration. In our house, we lift him up and believe in his power to change someone. I’m a living, walking example.” He does say the season is a festive time with his family. “In the context of that, we just have a blast as a family. We eat well, celebrate each other and do a lot of shooting clay-pigeon contests. It’s just a fun and festive time of year for us.”

Christmas is full of standards, ranging from “O Holy Night” to “Angels We Have Heard on High” — selections Penrod says have stood the test of time with great reason. “We sing these things not purely out of tradition. Songs live because they are good, not because they’re old. I feel the same way about these Christmas songs that have been around for so long and have such depth and meaning.”

Trending on Billboard

As an artist, how does one offer his or her perspective on a classic yuletide standard without trying to change things too much? “It is a challenge as an artist, because you tend to want to stretch, but it does take some conscious effort to say ‘This song is strong just like it is,'” the singer says. “It doesn’t need any help from me, so I’m going to take it easy, sing the melody, and put it down in a key where I don’t have to reach for it vocally where people can sing along with it. I feel like these songs are standards, and there’s power in that.”

Many of the songs off of the album have deep histories, such as “The Twelve Days Of Christmas,” which dates back to the late 1700s. Penrod includes his wife and eight children on the track. “It’s a blast to me to think that many years ago, people were singing the same melody. We tried to stick to what it was, though I had a fun time with it by putting my kids on it. That felt like the perfect song to have them sing along with me. It’s one of those Christmas classics that people love, and hopefully they will sing along with.”

Tradition-wise, Penrod says his memories are just a little different growing up by virtue of location. “I grew up in eastern New Mexico. We did a lot of quail hunting.  It was a flat oil field area, and a bunch of the guys that went to my dad’s church worked in the oil industry, and were familiar with all the pump jacks, rigs, and water tanks in the flat areas in which I grew up, and there was usually a lot of quail. Christmas was always a time to go hunting, and we would eat well. We ate Mexican food, which is a little different than in Tennessee. Our Christmas Eve meal was stacked enchiladas with hard boiled eggs, and green chile on top of it. There were a lot of warm memories, hunting, eating well, and probably exchanging gifts throughout the day.”

The former member of the Gaither Vocal Band will be hitting the road to promote the project, and he’s excited about what 2015 holds, though he simply leaves the direction he takes to a higher power. “I love this business because there are so many variables and unforeseen opportunities that lie ahead. You just live in the moment and cut the best music you can cut. We just trust our way to God every morning – and believe that verse that says acknowledge me and I will direct your path. So, that’s the plan.”
