About the Artist

Few musicians have touched a culture or a genre so deeply and intensely as has Kenneth Cope. Composer, producer, performer, songwriter, and singer, Kenneth has consistently set the standard for excellence in inspirational LDS music.

Kenneth Cope grew up in Houston, Texas, where he attended the High School for the Performing Arts. A talented singer and songwriter, he started out writing and performing for youth. He has composed numerous songs for seven albums produced for the BYU Especially For Youth Program.

He received critical acclaim with the 1989 release of Greater Than Us All, an album which catapulted Kenneth into the limelight. Greater Than Us All remains a top-selling inspirational album. Songs like "His Hands" and "Never A Better Hero" have become classics. Other concept albums from Kenneth soon followed. He wrote and produced Women at the Well and My Servant Joseph. Kenneth demonstrated his songwriting prowess and contemplative nature with songs like "Day of Tears" and "Brothers."

Kenneth made his mark in the contemporary singer/songwriter world with the critically acclaimed contemporary album Stories From Eden's Garden, a thoughtful album, featuring Kenneth's skillful playing on acoustic guitar and beautiful vocals. The Faith Centered Music Association (FCMA) awarded Kenneth 5 PEARL Awards in 1999, including Male Vocalist of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Contemporary Song of the Year ("Eden's Garden"), Contemporary Album of the Year and Album of the Year. Stories From Eden's Garden also garnered Kenneth an Indie nomination for Contemporary Christian album of the Year from the Association for Independent Music.

Recognition from his peers and public has come by the armful for Kenneth. He received the LDS Booksellers Association Listener's Choice Award for Best Male Vocalist in 1994, 1995 and 1996. He was honored by the FCMA in 1998 with a PEARL Award in the Inspirational Songwriter category for his song "Three Angels."

In 1999, he returned to the sacred/inspirational genre with the release of A Prayer Unto Thee, a collection of beautifully arranged hymns. Unlike many of Kenneth's previous inspirational albums, A Prayer Unto Thee is sung entirely by Kenneth himself. The album is a personal offering of devotion and worship, deeply moving and wonderfully passionate.

More recently, Kenneth has ventured into the world of film scoring. He wrote and produced an original score for Joseph Smith, The Seer, an interactive CD-ROM that explores and examines the life of the prophet. He is also currently collaborating with author Susan Easton Black and artist Liz Lemon Swindle on a multimedia project that will chronicle the life of Christ, called Son of Man.

Kenneth lives with his wife Kathy and their three daughters in Salt Lake City, Utah. His latest album, Hear My Praise, was released by the newly created Lumen Records on April 17, 2002.

Product Description

This moving collection draws upon the realization that women were the catalysts to many of the New Testament's most spiritually poignant moments. A woman touches His garment, a woman hearkens to His invitation at a well, a woman washes His feet with her hair, a woman discovers His empty tomb. Written for women and performed by women, Women At The Well will stir the very center of your soul.

I have owned this CD for a long time and I never tire of it. It lifts me and helps me draw closer to my Savior. When I'm down it is perfect. It helps get me in the right spirit to study scripture. I can't say enough good about it. A perfect CD for all Christians to enjoy. The words are so poetic and the music is divine. This will be well worth your money to spend.

This is one of the best and most inspirational cd's on the market. Though geared mostly towards women, it is something the whole family will enjoy. These songs are based mostly on stories from the Bible, and they are so intuitive. One can't help but get goose bumps listening to such thought provoking music. If you would like to draw closer to our Savior, then this cd is for you!!!
