Slow Revival is the seventh album by contemporary Christian artist Bryan Duncan. Released on Myrrh Records in 1994, the album was nominated in the Best Contemporary Album category at the 26th GMA Dove Awards.

Background and release

Duncan said of the album's message: "(People) have to understand that even though they might not be where they would like to be in their spirituality, they should not be discouraged or give up." According to Duncan, the theme was something he was personally dealing with at the time of the album's recording, and that he found peace during the process.{{cite news | title=Christian artist Bryan Duncan will perform | newspaper=The Register-Guard | date=March 25, 1995 | page=2F}} Slow Revival, released in 1994, peaked at number five on the Billboard Top Contemporary Christian chart. | url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/slow-revival-mw0000118500/awards | title='Slow Revival' - Awards | publisher=Allmusic | accessdate=June 22, 2014 | title=Bryan Duncan brings his Slow Revival Tour to Boca | last=Varsellone | first=Jim | newspaper=Boca Raton News | date=March 25, 1995 | page=18E}} In a review of the album, Mike Joyce of The Washington Post wrote that Duncan's singing "is far more colorful on the funk tracks, particularly 'Wheels of a Good Thing,' but even here his evangelical fervor is tempered by his sharp pop instincts."{{cite news | title=Bryan Duncan's Passion Wavers | last=Joyce | first=Mike | newspaper=The Washington Post | url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-824628.html | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160409231550/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-824628.html | url-status=dead | archive-date=April 9, 2016 |url-access=subscription | date=March 10, 1995 | access-date=June 22, 2014}} Slow Revival was nominated in the Best Contemporary Album category at the 26th GMA Dove Awards. | date=February 25, 1995 | last=Evans Price | first=Deborah | title=Steven Curtis Chapman Leads Dove Nominations | magazine=Billboard | publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc. | volume=107 | issue=8 | page=144 | issn=0006-2510 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4gsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA144 | accessdate=June 22, 2014}}

Promotion

To support the album, Duncan embarked on the Slow Revival Tour with opening acts Rebecca St. James and Bob Carlisle. Concerts featured Duncan joining each artist on stage for a couple of songs during their respective sets. The three singers performed together for each show's finale. In a review of the tour stop in Nashville, Deborah Evans Price of Billboard called it "a high-octane concert performance with a dash of late-night talk show zaniness." She noted that a NHK news crew filmed a segment of the show for a piece to air in Japan on the growing popularity at the time of contemporary Christian music. | date=April 1, 1995 | last=Evans Price | first=Deborah | title=Gospel Lectern | magazine=Billboard | publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc. | volume=107 | issue=13 | page=40 | issn=0006-2510 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6gsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA40 | accessdate=June 22, 2014}}
