Heart of Texas Records is pleased to announce our latest release - Jody Miller Wayfaring Stranger - The Final Recordings. This six song collection is the final recording project for Grammy Award Winner Jody Miller and even includes a re-recording of her biggest record.
It was Jody Miller's intention to record a project primarily of songs that she had enjoyed performing throughout her illustrious career, but never had the opportunity to record. She entered the Heart of Texas Recording Studio in Brady, Texas, and recorded the old time spirituals Wayfaring Stranger and Tramp On The Street Miller recalled hearing both of these songs as a child growing up and cited Molly O Day's version of Tramp On The Street as one of her favorite versions of the classic.
The song I Can't Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand had become a personal favorite and testimony of Miller, especially during the last few years of her life. Written in 1974, by Colbert and Joyce Croft, the lines "I can't even walk without You holding my hand. The mountain's too high and the valley's too wide. Down on my knees, I learned to stand. And I can't even walk without You holding my hand" gave inspiration to Miller as she struggled with a debilitating disease.
"For the past several years, I've been dealing with the effects of Parkinson's Disease," Miller wrote in July of 2022. "Through God's grace and help of my family and close friends, I have been able to complete this project. Although I wish I had been stronger, I am so happy and grateful to share the messages of faith and inspiration conveyed through the words and music of most of these songs. I pray that they will be an encouragement to you."
