The title is from a quote by Meister Eckhart, a 16th-century German spiritual teacher that says, "God is at home. We are in the far country."[1] BackgroundPeterson worked with Ben Shive, in the production of this album.[2] Fervent Records released the album on August 30, 2005.[3] Critical reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[3] | rev2 = CCM Magazine | rev2Score = A[2] | rev3 = Christian Broadcasting Network | rev3Score = {{rating|4|5|full=Disc Plain red.svg|half=Cercle rouge 100%.svg|empty=Plain Disc 20% grey.svg|rating=spin}}[4] | rev4 = Christianity Today | rev4Score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[5] | rev5 = Cross Rhythms | rev5Score = {{rating|7|10|full=U+25A0.svg|empty=Solid white borderedS.svg|rating=square}}[6] | rev6 = Jesus Freak Hideout | rev6Score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[7] | rev7 = The Phantom Tollbooth | rev7Score = 4.5/5[8] }} Awarding the album four and a half stars at AllMusic, Jared Johnson states, "The Far Country saw Andrew Peterson going to great lengths to create a thought-provoking acoustic concept album, a sparkling feat indeed considering how dry the CCM-folk well had run by 2005."[3] David Mackle, rating the album an A for CCM Magazine, writes, "The Far Country, exudes a pride swallowing intimacy that begs you to bend your ear its way and then pushes you toward hope...Peterson is writing his own legacy, and you need to hear it."[2] Giving the album four and a half stars from Christianity Today, Russ Breimeier says, "Peterson excels with relatable lyrics grounded in both Scripture and everyday life, thus communicating timeless truths, rather than merely reciting them."[5] Jennifer E. Jones, indicating in a four spins review by Christian Broadcasting Network, replies, "His signature sound of quiet folk has barely changed a note, which works for Peterson because it allows his stellar lyric-writing skills to shine."[4] Signaling in a four and a half star review at Jesus Freak Hideout, Laura Nunnery describes, "Peterson's songs may have a folk sound, but they are anything but boring."[7] Michael Dalton, rating the album a four and a half from The Phantom Tollbooth, responds, "Andrew Peterson directs us toward home in a way that makes it a little easier to live in the far country...This is a look to heaven that alternates between hope, yearning and joy."[8] Giving the album a seven out of ten for Cross Rhythms, Mike Rimmer recognizes, "Elsewhere the acoustic sounds, poppy melodies and sensitive arrangements make this a winner if not a little derivative of Mullins' oeuvre."[6] Track listing{{Track listing| collapsed = | extra_column = | total_length = 42:31 | all_writing = Andrew Peterson unless otherwise noted. | all_lyrics = | all_music = | title1 = Far Country | note1 = | writer1 = Peterson, Ben Shive | lyrics1 = | music1 = | extra1 = | length1 = 4:35 | title2 = Lay Me Down | note2 = | writer2 = | lyrics2 = | music2 = | extra2 = | length2 = 4:07 | title3 = Queen of Iowa | note3 = | writer3 = | lyrics3 = | music3 = | extra3 = | length3 = 3:58 | title4 = Little Boy Heart | note4 = | writer4 = | lyrics4 = | music4 = | extra4 = | length4 = 4:36 | title5 = Haven's Grey | note5 = | writer5 = Peterson, Shive | lyrics5 = | music5 = | extra5 = | length5 = 3:58 | title6 = Mystery of Mercy | note6 = | writer6 = Randall Goodgame, Peterson | lyrics6 = | music6 = | extra6 = | length6 = 3:19 | title7 = Mountains | note7 = | writer7 = | lyrics7 = | music7 = | extra7 = | length7 = 4:54 | title8 = All Shall Be Well | note8 = | writer8 = | lyrics8 = | music8 = | extra8 = | length8 = 4:33 | title9 = For the Love of God | note9 = | writer9 = | lyrics9 = | music9 = | extra9 = | length9 = 5:03 | title10 = More | note10 = | writer10 = Peterson, Pierce Pettis | lyrics10 = | music10 = | extra10 = | length10 = 3:28 }} References1. ^{{cite web|title=Andrew Peterson: Going Far|url=http://www.crosswalk.com/culture/music/andrew-peterson-going-far-1356356.html|website=Crosswalk|accessdate=27 June 2015}} {{Andrew Peterson}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Far Country}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web |first=David |last=Mackle |title=Andrew Peterson: The Far Country |url=http://ht.salemweb.net/ccm/ccmmagazine/pdf/200508.pdf |journal=CCM Magazine |accessdate=October 6, 2015 |issue=August 2005 |p=44}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |first=Jared |last=Johnson |title=The Far Country – Andrew Peterson |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-far-country-mw0001436374 |publisher=AllMusic |accessdate=October 6, 2015 |date=August 30, 2005}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |first=Jennifer E, |last=Jones |title=Peterson, Andrew: The Far Country |url=http://www.cbn.com/cbnmusic/reviews/archive-p.aspx |publisher=Christian Broadcasting Network |accessdate=October 6, 2015}} 5. ^1 {{cite web |first=Russ |last=Breimeier |title=The Far Country |url=http://www.christianitytoday.com/music/reviews/2005/farcountry.html |journal=Christianity Today |accessdate=October 6, 2015 |date=August 30, 2005 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090907012207/http://www.christianitytoday.com/music/reviews/2005/farcountry.html |archivedate=September 7, 2009 |df= }} 6. ^1 {{cite web |first=Mike |last=Rimmer |title=Review: The Far Country - Andrew Peterson |url=http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/products/Andrew_Peterson/The_Far_Country/13909/ |publisher=Cross Rhythms |accessdate=October 6, 2015 |date=October 3, 2005}} 7. ^1 {{cite web |first=Laura |last=Nunnery |title=Andrew Peterson, "The Far Country" Review |url=http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/TheFarCountry.asp |publisher=Jesus Freak Hideout |accessdate=October 6, 2015 |date=August 15, 2005}} 8. ^1 {{cite web |first=Michael |last=Dalton |title=Peterson, Andrew – The Far Country |url=http://www.tollbooth.org/2005/reviews/ap.html |journal=The Phantom Tollbooth |accessdate=October 6, 2015 |date=July 27, 2005}} 3 : 2005 albums|Andrew Peterson (musician) albums|Fervent Records albums |
