Info for Deep Tracks

„Deep Tracks“ feature a wide range of songs from past albums that were never released as singles. But there are also three previously unreleased songs among the 13 tracks, titled “Why,” “Boy” and “Come to Jesus.” The songs on the collection are selections from across four of Hill’s albums that “remain some of my favorites,” she says in a press release. “There have been some amazing songs that I’ve been fortunate enough to record, some that didn’t make it onto albums,” Hill states, “and I thought it would be nice to include a few of those on this album as well.” “Boy” is one of the most recent songs Hill has recorded, and she says “Why” is a favorite of her husband, Tim McGraw, because “it was and sadly still is today an important message.”

“Come to Jesus” has special relevance because of the passing of McGraw’s father, baseball great Tug McGraw, as well as Hill’s mother, who died recently.

“This is for my mom, who has wanted me to record a gospel album for years,” Hill says. “It is also very personal for our family because I recorded this song during the last couple of weeks that Tug McGraw battled with brain cancer. Tim played him my rough cut, and Tug listened to it multiple times a day until his passing.”

Deep Tracks is set for release on Nov. 18. It is Hill’s final album in her deal with Warner Bros., which has been her label since 1993. It’s unclear if she will work on an entire album of new material after its release; in an appearance on the Bobby Bones Show in October, asked if she planned to release new music, she said, “Yes. I really hope so, yes. It’s going there.”

„Faith Hill hasn't released a new album since 2005's Fireflies -- in 2008, she released a holiday set call Joy to the World, but that doesn't qualify as a serious bid for the charts -- so the 2016 appearance of Deep Tracks is a bit of a curiosity. Arriving nearly a decade after 2007's The Hits, Deep Tracks mines 1998's Faith, 1999's Breathe, 2002's Cry, and Fireflies for album cuts, then adds three previously unreleased songs to the mix: "Boy," which she cut near the end of her run at Warner; "Why," which her husband Tim McGraw likes, and a religious song called "Come to Jesus." Apart from the brash "Free," most of this material is either arena ballads or delicate country tunes -- the kind of track that holds an album together but doesn't necessarily stand out on its own. Compiled together, they are a testament to Hill's taste and tact: this is straight-down-the-middle AAA country, music that might not be hooky enough to be a hit, but that certainly speaks to a well-manicured lifestyle.“ (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AMG)
