I was on my way to run some errands as I normally do on any given afternoon. This particular day was there was a lot of traffic in the city of Atlanta which afforded me the time to really divulge into some great music. As I drove around “the Grady curve” I popped in my new Fred Hammond CD “I Will Trust.” MAN OH MAN. Of course every Fred Hammond CD for me is highly anticipated but with this one, I am reminded of where I was at age 18 when I first saw Commissioned in concert. I remember how ecstatic I was over Fred and not only his voice and his lyrics, but his gift on the Bass guitar, which happens to be my FAVORITE instrument. From Track Number one, I was taken right back there to where I first fell in love with his sound and my life was changed by the ministry of Fred Hammond. I believe that with this CD, Fred has taken an introspective look from within at what has truly kept him over the years and decided that what is true, what is honest, what can never be argued is the truth about Christ. I appreciate that he is keeping everything simple lyrically and carrying us back to the basics. Which said to me that out of all he has accomplished and through every moment he has had to endure over the years, He reached inside of himself and found the real answers to life’s questions…He Proclaims I Will Trust, I Owe it All, You Bless me Over and Over, Try Jesus, I Believe, and honestly the list goes on. This CD is for the REAL Fred Hammond fans that remember the Commissioned Days and then his break out solo albums “Deliverance” and “I am Persuaded” and even his venture CD’s with RFC, “The Spirit of David”,” Pages of Life”, “Purposed By Design” and his songs from back in the day with powerful and simple lyrics that undergird and sustain you like “No Weapon”. He is a Word of God based lyricist and that’s what keeps Fred respected as a Minister of the Gospel through song. As I rode south on I- 75, I thought of all of the praise teams and bands that are gonna have so much fun playing this music. Musicians and Instrumentalists will ALL enjoy the sound of funk, jazz, soul, rhythm and even the pop vibe that this CD offers. “Our Fred” the one we all know and love has given us yet again the honesty and purity of himself in this CD “I Will Trust.
