No, Jason Gray’s Acoustic Storytime is not a children’s record — although this Christian singer/songwriter does reveal a childlike vulnerability and sense of wonder in its tracks. The album gathers live recordings from stops along his 2007 tour, mixing spirited readings of previously released songs and new compositions with some droll anecdotes and heartfelt testimonies. Gray’s forceful, resonant singing style contrasts with his acknowledgment of personal failings. On stage, his disarming way of framing a song lends impact to tunes like “Down to the River,” “Blessed Be,” and “You Are Mercy.” “The Things We Hold Back” cuts especially deep in its renunciation of worldly things. Just as good are the lighter moments, like the whimsically lovelorn “If I Were a Dog.” Gray’s between-song patter ranges from thoughtful accounts of his walk with Christ to a hilarious recollection of an uncomfortable healing service. Turning his humility to his advantage, he truly shines in these intimate settings. Acoustic Storytime should please those already in Gray’s camp, and for those unfamiliar with this artist’s guileless, gracefully rendered music, the album is a fine place to start.
