Background and recording[edit]

Casting Crowns' Mark Hall (lead singer) states that when he was a teenager, he heard a song being played with just a keyboard in the background. He liked that it sounded as if the singer was right there with him in that room. This is where "The Acoustic Sessions: Volume One" was born.
