Somewhere Down the Road is the seventeenth studio album by Christian music and pop music singer-songwriter Amy Grant, released in 2010. It is a unique album featuring eight new songs, a new recording of the song "Arms of Love", from her 1982 album Age to Age, and rounded out with three of Grant's previously released story-songs.
The album title is taken from the title track, "Somewhere Down the Road" also a promotional single from Grant's 1997 album Behind the Eyes. The song was originally also featured on the first and only commercial single from Behind the Eyes, "Takes a Little Time". The painting featured on the cover of the album includes a painting by Grant, with the inscription Somewhere Down the Road. Grant gave the original painting as a gift to her friend and publicist Jennifer Cooke.[6]
Most of the new songs on the album were recorded in the new studio that Grant and her husband Vince Gill recently had built into their home.[7] One of the songs on the album, "Overnight", is a duet recorded with Sarah Chapman, Grant's daughter. Grant wrote "Unafraid" about her mother.[8]
Roughly one year after the original release of the album a digital-only expanded edition of the album was released with additional material. The expanded edition includes the video for "Better Than a Hallelujah", the first single from the album, as well as an Ambient Mix of the song. Also included on the expanded edition is a cover of the Pete Seeger song "Turn, Turn, Turn" and two remixes of the song "Overnight" (the Aircandy Mix and the Dyna Mix).
