New Music For You To Enjoy

Our friends, Red Mountain Church Music, have released their 5th album titled "This Breaks My Heart of Stone". With this album, they are still mining the rich depths of the Gadsby Hymnal as they continue to add meaningful hymns back into the church life. They are also flexing their sonic muscle as they get more creative in the studio and add layers of musical depth to these words. I would highly recommend adding this album to your collection - and to be challenged by what this small group of saints are doing ... reaching back into the history of the church, and pulling the truth, words and melodies into our 21st century lives.

Also, another group related to this is Indelible Grace. They have also released their 5th album "Wake Thy Slumbering Children". This is the group that is credited with, at least, popularly beginning to re-do old hymns in modern melodies and instruments. Their new album continues their practice of a consistent rotating roster of musicians: Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken, Matthew Perryman Jones, Matthew Smith and others. The songs on here are challenging to the faith and your walk in it. This is another album I would highly recommend getting - it will only add to your worship of our Living and True God.
