‘Fallen’ merges soul-stirring renditions of seven classic hymns with five original compositions.

The album was initially previewed through the early releases of “Why Me Lord” and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” American Songwriter praises Quaid’s distinct vocals on “Why Me Lord,” highlighting his rugged style, while also acknowledging his soft delivery that beautifully captures the humility of “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”
Taking on the role of executive producer for ‘Fallen,’ Quaid worked alongside renowned producers David R. “Fergie” Ferguson, Ben Isaacs, and Chris Lindsey. Background vocals by The Isaacs and Jackson Brumley elevate the track “I’ll Fly Away,” while The Oak Ridge Boys join Quaid in a powerful rendition of “Life’s Railway to Heaven.” The album includes the poignant “On My Way to Heaven,” originally featured in Quaid’s faith-driven film ‘I CAN ONLY IMAGINE,’ inspired by his personal battle with addiction. Quaid’s transparency extends throughout the album, addressing his own struggles and triumphant return to Christianity, as seen in tracks like the title song.
This 12-track compilation follows Quaid’s 2018 album, ‘Out of the Box,’ which he describes as a collection of American music gems. While Quaid cherishes his work in movies and writing, music occupies a special place in his heart. Over the last four decades, he has captivated audiences with his performances on the piano and acoustic guitar during extensive tours. Quaid’s musical repertoire ranges from the tracks featured on ‘Fallen’ to rock ‘n’ roll classics like “Great Balls of Fire!”—a tribute to the legendary “Killer” he portrayed in the 1989 box office hit.
