Editorial Reviews

Tell Me What You Know is a dichotomy of somber themes and upbeat tracks focused on the nature of hope in the midst of hopelessness. Sara Groves draws upon themes of tragedy and social justice--Hurricane Katrina, Rwanda genocide, sex trafficking, International Justice Mission--and uses them to explore the human condition and the love of God.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, November 13, 2007

Sara's "Tell Me What You Know" is one of the best albums I've ever heard, in ANY genre. There's an honesty and clarity that shines thru every song, from the melodies and lyrics to the production, arrangements and mix. Put on your phones and pay attention to this one, it's absolutely worth every minute. I'd say my favorite tracks are "Abstraction" and "When The Saints," but they're all great in their own way.

Sara Groves has inspired me for years. She brings something new out of my heart in the experiences of listening to her music. She does challenge me. And she does not shy away from the world and it's problems, while searching for Truth, and sharing that with us. God bless you Sara. Many of her albums are very outwardly devotional and introspective. This one is devoted in a different way, paying heed more to the material world and her struggle and search in it. I guess, I might say it is the unfolding of her interior world with God, and how that plays out and what it means to her in this world. I see her as an angel, and someone that helps keep me honest. And yet her underlying truth (as it seems to me..) might be that "God is our hope. Our life. Our Salvation. We are to be in the world, but not of it necessarily. Fulfilling our functions as servants, doing our best, but seeking the kingdom first..." All the rest shall be taken care of ... That is the faith I feel. And that is what lasts forever.

I love Sara Groves and how refreshing her music, lyrics, overall songwriting and singing voice actually all seem to get better with each release. "Conversations", "All Right Here" and "Add To The Beauty" were all top 10 albums the year they came out (including CCM Magazine's album of the year for 2005). As great as her previous albums are, "Tell Me What You Know" is my favorite Sara Groves release and top 10 of 2007 for me. I can't get enough of "When The Saints", "Song For My Sons", and "I Saw What I Saw".
