Cindy Morgan makes highly anticipated return to musical roots with Bows & Arrows
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter and author Cindy Morgan returns to her musical roots with Bows & Arrows, her first all-new studio recording in nearly a decade, available today from Lucid Artist.
Produced by Morgan, along with co-producer and engineer Kyle Buchanan (Ginny Owens, Andrew Greer), the project showcases a new arrangement of Morgan’s 1992 career-defining ballad, “How Could I Ask for More,” featuring singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson. With 13 selections penned or co-written by the artist, additional highlights of Bows & Arrows include “Can’t Help Yourself,” featuring singer/songwriter Gabe Dixon and bluegrass mandolinist Sierra Hull; “Do You Know Jesus,” featuring Jonathan Kingham; “Bring Balloons”; and “The Sound of a Train,” with upright bassist Viktor Krauss.
"Bluegrass was the music of my childhood,” Morgan says. “My father was a musician and songwriter who played guitars in country and bluegrass bands. My mom was a gospel singer. I find myself always returning to the music of my youth, and I think Bows & Arrows is really the amalgamating of all the music I have loved in my life.”
The recording follows the August 4 release of Morgan’s latest critically-acclaimed book, How Could I Ask For More: Stories of Blessings, Battles and Beauty (Worthy Publishing). Inspired by her iconic song, the book is a collection of poignant vignettes from Morgan’s life and perspective.
A two-time GRAMMY® nominee and one of Nashville’s most influential singer/songwriters, Cindy Morgan has garnered 12 Dove Awards, 21 #1 hits, and has penned songs for such artists as Amy Grant, India.Arie, Rascal Flatts, Natalie Grant, Michael W. Smith and Francesca Battistelli, among many others.

In addition, Morgan co-created the Hymns for Hunger initiative with Dove-nominated singer/songwriter Andrew Greer. The annual tour helps raise awareness and resources for local and international hunger relief organizations.
