Producer Monroe Jones gives Ginny Owens plenty of sonic latitude on her sophomore effort, Something More, showcasing the strength of her songwriting. With tasteful touches here and there, Owens lays down a simple yet rich vibe throughout this wonderful release. "I Am" and "Simply Love You" are two tracks that carry a steady yet subtle rhythm, all while allowing Owens's accessible pop voice to bring forth catchy choruses. "This Road" is another example in which less is better, enabling Owens to deliver a moving tribute to the author of her faith. While trying on some rhythm & blues for the title track, Owens gets the soulful message across without sounding trite. Indeed, producer Jones knows how to complement and supplement the music of this gifted artist. And once again, Owens gives us hopeful song-stories that chronicle how God moves in the lives of those around her. --Michael Lyttle
