Twenty years ago multi-platinum selling and award-winning artist Amy Grant released “Lead Me On”, one of the most popular, treasured albums in her spectacular careers’ 30 year history, and one that ushered in a new era of Christian music.

To commemorate this special project, EMI CMG has announced plans to release a 20th Anniversary Edition of “Lead Me On” on June 24.

The two-disc set will include the fully-remastered, original “Lead Me On” project, plus a bonus CD with 45 minutes of new and previously unreleased content including new acoustic versions of “Lead Me On” (with Vince Gill), “Faithless Heart” (with Michael W Smith), “Say Once More”, and four never-heard before live tracks from the original 1989 tour.

On top of the new audio material will be all new packaging, artwork, liners, an essay from Grant and Brown Bannister and more, all in newly designed deluxe packaging.

In addition, in support of these songs and season of life for so many who loved this project, Grant is launching the “Lead Me On” 20th Anniversary Celebration Tour” in October, which will hit 20 cities across the US.

“I am so excited to recapture and re-engage audiences with these songs,” Grant says. “I can honestly say that I am truly looking forward to getting out and performing these songs, and hope to bring back the passion and inspiration these songs brought out in me and so many.”

Also coming this fall, EMI and Grant have partnered to create a special Christmas project, “The Christmas Collection”, that will hit stores in September. More details on this project will be announced soon.

The first time i listened Lead me On was in 1990 without understanding the words of this song basicaly due to the fact that i am from french spoken country. However the music hit my heart and built a strong relationship with my GOD. Since that period till february 08, i lost Amy trace and you know how hard it sometime could be to get American singers CD in the africa christian music market. During a trip to OHIO i by chance was able to get 2 CD greatest hits and i am enjoying again to listen Lead me On and to let this old passion light again.
Thank you Amy and Thank GOD for providing her new energy to light our heart.
GOD bless you Amy.
