The fourteen tracks cover a wide range of styles, from Reggie Stone's dramatic "I Give to Christ My All," to Detour 180's anthemic "Hallelujah," from Billy Sprague's pop-infused "No Condemnation," to Carl Cartee's rugged rock track, "Amazing." Many of these songs are Sunday morning ready and a strong congregational feel runs through the whole project, which makes sense as the mission of Spring Hill seems to be just that, to support the church in its worship to the King. The title track, delivered quietly but powerfully by Sam Mullins, expresses the album's focal point succinctly, "lead me back, back to You."
A number of these artists have their own individual Spring Hill projects out, and have been reviewed by Suite as well, including Carl Cartee, Anadara, and Scott Riggan. Their contributions to "Back to You" are significant ones, as are Holland Davis' pop-rocker "I Will Stand" and Joe Beck's excellent "Dust," a straight-forward worship track that reaches up from a humble stance, always the most affective starting place. I also liked Tom Lane's quiet ballad, "A New Song." But it's closer "Not What My Hands Have Done" by Buddy Greene that really tears it up, Jason Webb's B3 simmering ardently beneath. It's this touch of wild worship that the Spring Hill series should consider including more often, certainly fitting in the worship of such a wildly energetic Creator.
