Hidden Gems: Crist Family – “I Know Why”

This song comes from the Crist Family’s first Crossroads release, Worth The Trip.  It’s a tender, acoustic ballad that features a female solo on the first few lines of the song, moving to a female duet to finish the verse, then full harmonies on the chorus.  The second verse has a solo then trio before again full harmonies on the chorus.  This song doesn’t have anything flashy, but has a nice 3m7 chord in the first line of the chorus.  It’s a very soft, tender ballad that the Crist Family does very well.  I even put this song on the playlist that plays overnight for my 20 month old to sleep to.  It fits the mood very well.  Pull your disc out and spin this song up, it is absolutely beautiful, and was an early example of the tremendous potential that this group continues to display.
