Multi-Grammy Award-winning artist Jason Mraz recently released "His Eye Is On The Sparrow," the lead single off his upcoming album, Grandma's Gospel Favorites.
The album was originally recorded for his grandmother almost two decades ago as a Christmas gift in 2007, and on May 8, the project will reach a broader audience in honor of the late Mary Helen Mraz-Fowler.
Grandma's Gospel Favorites honors some of Mraz's earliest musical memories: the songs he heard in church on Sunday mornings and the sounds of Appalachia in rural Virginia. His new song, "His Eye Is On The Sparrow," is his own take on the 1905 hymn by the same name. The album also includes standards like "Old Rugged Cross," a bluegrass version of "Turn Your Radio On," and Johnny Cash's "Daddy Sang Bass." To complete the album, Mraz penned two original songs, "Peach Pie," and "When We Die (You Are Loved)."
Following the album's release, Mraz will head out on the East Coast leg of his Still Yours Tour, which kicks off at Glazer Hall in Palm Beach, Florida, on May 12.
