Allan Hall takes a sharp departure from his fellow
Selah singers on his debut solo project,
House of a Thousand Dreams. While Nicole Sponberg and Todd Smith stay firmly rooted in pop territory for their solo efforts, Hall detours into Americana and roots music, with superb results. Hall's pure tenor shines on this material, which includes the Nanci Griffith hit "Gulf Coast Highway" and the bluegrass-gospel hymn "Down to the River to Pray." A highlight is hearing bluegrass thrush Claire Lynch join in on "Paul & Peter Walked," a song Lynch had covered years ago. With its soft acoustic feel and country-bluegrass leanings,
House of a Thousand Dreams shows us a side of Allan Hall that Selah fans had just glimpsed before. Here's hoping there's more of this beautiful acoustic vision in store in the future.
