Get In, I’m Driving
by Ginny Owens
About the Artist:
Born and raised in Jackson, Miss., Owens was discovering melodies on the piano almost before she could complete a sentence. Songs began to emerge from her fingers as the vision began to leave her eyes and by the age of three. A degenerative eye condition left Owens completely blind. Despite her physical challenge, Owens pursued a music career. Songs provide a window into a world Owens can’t see and an outlet for her to express her thoughts and dreams. Owens’ unique musical style and inspirational lyrics continue to appeal to Christian and mainstream audiences alike.
In 2005 Owens launched The Fingerprint Initiative, a hands-on, non-profit organization designed to “bring hope to the world, one project and one touch at a time.” The organization has partnered with and raised money for groups such as Compassion International, International Justice Mission and Habitat for Humanity.
Ginny Owens newest album, Get In, I’m Driving, highlights the versatility of her vocal talents. Her songs have a soulful, bluesy feel and some even have a bit of a R&B twist. The songs have a different sound to them than many of the artists that we listen to as a family, but we enjoyed it. Some of the songs are more introspective while others are more fun, joyful. There are definitely a wide range of songs on the album – slow and purposeful to upbeat and playful. They all have a message. The title song – Get In, I’m Driving is all about God being in the driver’s seat of her life, and her being along for the great adventure. Love that!
I’m so excited to be part of the release party! The album is available for purchase starting today, Tuesday, September 13th.

- Get In, I’m Driving

- Before You Fly
- Rain
