Recorded at his home studio in Connecticut, Connick feels a sense of pride at having completed the project totally solo.

I thought that was such a great title, so I wrote that song based on exactly what I was feeling, how strange everything seems, new and confusing, and how I felt as a result of my faith that I was going to get through it.” It was just me in the studio with no musicians, no recording engineers or people setting up microphones. She called me and said, ‘You should name this album ‘Alone with My Faith’ because it was really literally being alone because over the eight months that I recorded it. Whenever I do an album, I send it to her to let her listen to it and hear what was in my head. “I’ve been with my manager forever, for like 35 years, and she and I are very close. “Alone with My Faith” came to Connick late in the process. “I wrote the title track after the whole album was pretty much done,” he says. The album is really about all levels of it, all the joy, all the doubt and everything in between.” Harry Connick Jr. “I don’t know how I would have gotten to this point without faith in my life. “I’ve been singing a lot of these songs since I was playing at seven or eight-years-old and anybody who sees me in concert knows that I usually sing songs like ‘The Old Rugged Cross’ or ‘How Great Thou Art,’ but I just never did the album, and it just felt like a good time to do it now,” Connick tells Sounds Like Nashville. Released March 19 on Universal Music’s Verve and Capitol CMG, Alone with My Faith was a labor of love for the Emmy and Grammy Award winning artist who wrote or arranged every song, sang all the parts and played every instrument on the album.

the downtime led to creating his new album, Alone with My Faith, a collection that mixes classic songs of faith with original tunes all delivered in Connick’s inimitable style. The isolation and uncertainty of the pandemic has prompted many people to lean into their faith for comfort and peace.
