New Plumb Album : The Joy and Sanctity of Married Life

Christian alternative rock singer Plumb (Tifanny Arbuckle Lee) just put out a new album! It already has great reviews from Christian Music Central.

One thing is clear very quickly: Tiffany Arbuckle Lee, the artist known as Plumb, is supremely happy and content in her circumstances. I’m talking happy like a bug in a rug. The mother of two boys, Solomon Fury, almost 2 and a half, and Oliver Canon, 9 months, absolutely revels in the bliss of parenthood and marital happiness. And if that sounds unappealing, don’t worry, it isn’t. What Blink [album title] does is give listeners a window into Plumb’s profound joy and awe of the beauty of family life done well, and it comes across to me as very timely on this immensely personal album.

And here’s another quote, this time taken from JesusfreakHideout ’s review:

For those concerned the album holds no relevance for anyone who is not a parent, have no fear. Themes of unconditional love run amuck. Classic hymn covers like “God Will Take Care Of You” and “Children of the Heavenly Father” bring a deep, blatant spirituality to the album, while most of Plumb’s original offerings address her abundant love as a mother. It’s a bit of a stretch to try to relate the songs to much else besides a parental love, but her perspective can often be taken as from God’s to us as our Heavenly Father.

I thoroughly enjoyed her last CD – Chaotic Resolve (2006). I can’t wait to hear this one (CM Central calls it a “very distinctive lullaby type project”– i.e., more mellow than usual– and from what we can hear on their official website, it sounds interesting). According to the Wikipedia article, Tifanny Arbuckle Lee has written songs for Michelle Branch, Kimberley Locke, and Mandy Moore. Amy Lee of Evanescence mentions Plumb as one of her inspirations.
