Song:Takin' My Time
Album:Along The Road
This 1994 collaboration by three popular CCM artists won reader's polls as album of the year and it was also nominated for a couple of Dove awards. It turned out to be a one shot deal. So why did they record together? All three were on Sparrow Records at the time. Susan Ashton and Margaret Becker were solo artists. Christine Dente was one half of Out of the Grey. Susan was the most successful of the three. She had albums top the Christian charts. So Sparrow along with Susan's producer Wayne Kirkpatrick may have thought that a collaboration could be successful. Kirkpatrick was also Amy Grant's producer. The lead vocals were divided evenly. Each sang four songs. Christine sang lead on Takin' My Time. She wrote the song with producer Charlie Peacock. He produced Out of the Grey and Margaret Becker. This album is available as a digital download. Though the album was successful, Sparrow was unable to record a second album because Margaret went on hiatus in 1995. She wasn't as successful when she returned to music in 1998. Susan and Christine recorded an album in 2005 with Michelle Tumes intended to be released only in Europe. It was released in the US as Lost in Wonder: Voices of Worship. Here's a video for Takin' My Time by Ashton Becker Dente.
