{"product_id":"the_me_that_remains","title":"The Me That Remains","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Me That Remains is the twentieth studio album by six-time Grammy Award winner and 2022 Kennedy Center Honoree Amy Grant, released on May 8, 2026 via Thirty Tigers — her first collection of entirely original songs in 13 years, and notably her first release through a secular label without co-distribution from a Christian music imprint. Produced by ten-time CMA Award winner and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Mac McAnally, the ten-track, 39-minute album was shaped profoundly by a series of health crises Grant navigated in recent years, including open-heart surgery and a 2022 bicycle accident in Nashville that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Rather than dwelling on those events as spectacle, the album processes them as part of a broader meditation on survival, identity, aging, spiritual faith, and reconciliation. As Variety notes, Grant approached the record by asking herself whether she was \"doing people a disservice in my sixties, singing songs from the perspective of a 30-year-old\" — a question that pushed her toward the most personally direct and emotionally honest writing of her career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuest appearances from Ruby Amanfu, Vince Gill, and Grant's daughters Sarah Cannon and Corrina Gill add warmth and intimacy throughout. The album opens with the folk-rock \"The 6th of January (Yasgur's Farm),\" which meditates on social division and unrest; \"How Do We Get There From Here\" wrestles with grief in the aftermath of the Covenant School tragedy; the title track reflects on survival and identity with quiet, startling honesty; and the closing \"The Other Side of Goodbye,\" featuring her daughters, reframes her mother's death as transition rather than loss. Jubileecast awarded it a perfect 5\/5, calling it \"arguably one of the most emotionally mature and spiritually resonant albums of her career,\" while American Songwriter describes it as Grant \"honoring and releasing her younger self\" — a record that arrives not as a comeback bid but as a genuine act of creative reckoning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"CD \/ Album","offer_id":53620131299642,"sku":"38431","price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Black Vinyl","offer_id":53620131365178,"sku":"38432","price":30.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-06-17_at_8.02.24_PM_0babc282-0658-40e4-8826-a28378d5ab77.jpeg?v=1781741092","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/the_me_that_remains","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
