Clovercroft by Henry Haffner

Clovercroft Road, a winding trail just east of Franklin, Tennessee, was the site of one of the first reformed churches in the region in the early 1800s. It’s also the home of Parish Presbyterian Church, the congregation where I have the great privilege of writing and directing congregational music. This unassuming wooded road has been the home of a tremendous legacy of simple people singing praises to their God for over two centuries.

Two centuries, one glorious heritage of faith. These psalms and hymns are my attempt to honor those faithful souls who came before us, and to continue this tradition for generations to come. From echoes of the shape-note singing which open the album, to the mournful, country-inspired fiddle and pedal steel that close it, my prayer is that this music will leave a monument for the Christians of Tennessee (and anywhere else), and bring glory to the Savior we worship.
