Simple Things (Amy Grant album)
Simple Things is a contemporary Christian and pop album released in 2003 by American singer Amy Grant. It was her first studio album of original material since 1997's Behind the Eyes. The album marked a shift towards a more acoustic and organic sound compared to her previous pop-oriented recordings.
Simple Things features themes of family, faith, and everyday life, reflecting a more mature and introspective perspective in Grant's songwriting. Several tracks explore the complexities of relationships and the importance of finding joy in simple moments. The album includes collaborations with artists such as Vince Gill (Grant's husband at the time), Mac McAnally, and Wayne Kirkpatrick.
The album spawned several singles, including "Simple Things" and "Lucky One," which received radio airplay. Simple Things reached the Billboard 200 chart and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album. While not as commercially successful as some of her earlier albums, Simple Things is considered a significant work in Grant's discography, showcasing her evolution as a songwriter and performer.
