Redemption (Josh Gracin album)

Redemption is the third studio album from American country music artist Josh Gracin.

[1] After Gracin was dropped by his previous record label, Lyric Street Records, in early 2009, Gracin began working independently on his third studio album.

During that time, he released a couple of songs to country radio, but they failed to chart.

Thom Jurek of AllMusic was mixed on the record overall, praising tracks like "Long Way to Go" and "Only When It Rains" as highlights and commending the various musicianship from Gracin's road band but felt the track listing needed a few songs cut for length.

He concluded that "Ultimately, Gracin is betting a lot on Redemption; each self-penned song reaches for a certain niche in the contemporary country genre, trying to cover all the bases programmers desire [...] whether this kitchen-sink approach results in garnering new ones is indeed a gamble.
