Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Curtis Grimes, from Season 1 of The Voice, has released his first Christian album.

In fact. an EP and three albums worth.

Now he’s back with a new album that has a different focus and a special mission.

Curtis released “Faith Based Country Vol. 1″ on Friday. It’s a album featuring Curtis covering eight popular Christian songs.

The tracks include “What A Day That Will Be,” which Curtis describes on Facebook as “one of my Grandaddy’s favorite songs, so this one is extra special to me.”

As for that mission: Curtis says 100 percent of the money raised through the album will go to Ten Finger Ministry, which he started in November with a goal of printing and distributing Bibles all over the world.

“I thank God for the talent and ability He has blessed me with to reach people for His Kingdom and I pray that He will use them in the best way possible for His glory and honor,” Curtis writes in the Go Fund Me page for the project.

Curtis is also out on his “Put My Money on That” summer tour, named after one of the original tunes from his latest country album, 2016’s “Undeniably Country.” You can check out upcoming tour dates on his website or Facebook page.
