Amazing Grace - music from the film

No its not the Chris Tomlin one, which I also like.

I thought this was a fantastic version of the well known tune. Traditional sound with the bagpipes but also very moving. I love how it builds with the drums then finally with the brass section.



This is not present on the soundtrack album - disappointing, especially given its centricity to the story and title!

Some of you may prefer a Tomy Emmanuel take on things.

Thanks for the comment. I checked out the YouTube link.

I do like acapella singing. Not sure I could say this is my favourite version but it is good.
