The Isaacs (pictured l-r include: Rebecca Isaacs Bowman, Kevin Haney, Sonya Isaacs, Jesse Stockman, Lily Isaacs and Ben Isaacs) are excited about the April 24 release of BIG SKY.

Nashville, TN - It’s been two years since the multi-award winning musical group collectively known as The Isaacs released their last recording; however, for Isaacs’ fans who have been anxiously awaiting new music from this much loved musical family, the wait is finally over. Tuesday, April 24, The Isaacs’ 30th album, titled BIG SKY, will hit stores nationwide. The project, produced by Mark Bright, who has produced recordings for the likes of Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts and Sara Evans, is a stunning, eclectic and joyful compilation, which breaks new musical ground.

“Our goal in going with Mark Bright was our confidence that he was someone who knew about acoustic music but someone who would push us,” longtime group member Ben Isaacs says. “We wanted to be challenged. And man, did Mark step up.”

BIG SKY is the band’s second release for Gaither Music Group. Their debut effort, Heroes, earned numerous awards from multiple musical genres, and several cuts achieved national charting success, as well as Song of the Year honors from the Gospel Music Association and Southern Gospel Music Association.

Much like Heroes, BIG SKY celebrates the priorities of life and the pursuit of happiness as designed only by God. “Overall,” vocalist and mandolin player Sonya Isaacs explains, “BIG SKY is all about the fact that life is good and God is good. It’s a message of hope and our way of encouraging folks to just enjoy the life they’ve been given and to be grateful for each new day.”

With each cut included on the recording, The Isaacs sing about the complex places where faith and real life collide - the struggle, the trial, the victory, the triumph and the truth. “We didn’t compromise what we believe with this album,” Rebecca Isaacs Bowman says. “We just exploded what we believe...If you want to reach the masses, you have to have a sound that reaches this generation.”

BIG SKY obviously represents a bold, new chapter for The Isaacs, yet it is totally indicative of who they are and who they have always been. “My dream and aspiration for BIG SKY,” family matriarch, Lily Isaacs states, “would be that we would reach even more people with this message of hope, people outside our expected circles. There’s a whole world out there who needs that hope, the hope we have in Christ.” With BIG SKY, The Isaacs convey that message of hope.

As BIG SKY releases, The Isaacs are in the midst of a 10-day trip to the West Coast, which includes stops in Phoenix, Fresno, San Diego, Bakersfield and Anaheim. A complete touring schedule, as well as information regarding how to order the new Isaacs’ recording is available on-line at http://www.theisaacs.com

I am sorry, but this is a compromise. I play the mandolin and it was Sonya that inspired me to start playing. But with this recording I have to say that I am ashamed that my inspiration is going a route that is contrary to what the Bible says and what Southern Gospel Music is all about.
