If you enjoyed Mark Lowry’s last DVD project, Mark Lowry: Unplugged & Unplanned, you won’t want to miss his newest release, entitled Whatcha Need.  Recorded live in Nashville at Oak Tree Studios, this DVD features several songs never before captured on video, as well as a moving duet with Kelly Willard.  Also joining Mark on the project are long-time friends, LordSong, Sisters, and Stan Whitmire, with plenty of stories and songs from their time traveling together. 

“Mark demonstrates once again that not only is he a gifted communicator, but he is an excellent vocalist,” comments Norman Holland, A&R Director at Daywind Records.  “This project contains some of his best-known songs, such as ‘Whatcha Need.’  He has masterfully brought together guest artists such as LordSong, Sisters, and Stan Whitmire.  This DVD features a very touching and truly anointed segment with 1980’s artist, Kelly Willard.  In sharing with Mark the meaning behind her hit song, ‘Willing Heart,’ her live rendition of this song is a very special moment that I believe will touch all who see it.”
