“New Star Shining” is available now,
featuring the vocals of Annie Savage (of
The Savage Hearts) with longtime musical partner and bluegrass veteran,
Greg Blake in a rustic, melodic retelling of the nativity story.
The male/female narrative harkens back to a relatable part of any
couple’s journey- the joy and fear of welcoming a new baby. Bluegrass
and traditional Country fans will embrace this tender song, with
the fierce musical grace that is the hallmark of The Savage
Hearts.
“It was a joy to record this traditional nativity song with my own son
in mind,” Annie says. “As a mother, I wanted to hear the song as a male
and female duet. There was no one more perfect to record the male vocal
than my bandmate from Jeff Scroggins and Colorado,
Greg Blake. He is a minister from years ago and his rendering of gospel
music always sends my heart straight to the altar for a renewal of
faith.”
Blake adds, “I love a good male-female duet. The history of country
music is filled with some of the most outstanding there has ever been.”
Blake began to collaborate with The Savage Hearts for certain events beginning in mid-2019.
“New Star Shining” appears in the album, Teaching, Learning, Loving from The Savage Hearts, featuring Greg Blake
