In these troubled times, the Almighty could use a good p.r. rep. Michael Crawford, the British star of stage and screen, has eagerly taken on this task with ON EAGLE'S WINGS. Inspired by his days as a "towheaded eight-year-old" singing Latin hymns with his church choir, he teams up with The Saint Olaf Choir and The American Boychoir to lift our spirits. Mixing traditional ("Amazing Grace") and modern ("Joseph's Lullaby") inspirational songs, Michael explores his spiritual and artistic roots and tries to answer the questions we all face on our journey through life. Although he approaches these songs from a very personal point of view, the larger issues touch us all.
