Look to the Hills is Barnes' second album released by Shanachie Entertainment/SRT Entertainment.

Reverend Luther Barnes is hopeful that his new single "You Kept Me," will inspire others to stay in gratitude and to give thanks for to God for is keeping power. "To those who are struggling," offers the Reverend, "I would advise you to pray more while always being thankful for what you have.
