Glen David Andrews' "Redemption"

We spoke with Glen David Andrews about his new album Redemption, which features his band and select friends who played major roles in a spiritual recovery that started him on a new path in life. The New Orleans musician came out with the new album after reconnecting with music, and its healing powers, in rehab. Many listeners have observed the similarities between Andrews and New Orleans itself, and in the album it’s hard to distinguish where the influences of one ends and the other begins. Redemption dropped in April, 2014, and is Andrews’ first nationally released album.

“Surrender” is a centerpiece of the new album and it speaks to the themes Andrews hopes to convey.
