At the Name of Jesus
ONE, from Austin City Life
ver at Noisetrade, you can download ONE from Austin City Life church. I like this EP more and more as I listen to it. The first track, In Your Name, is probably my favorite of the album.

Sojourn Music – Over the Grave Review, part 4
n previous posts, I’ve discussed Sojourn Music’s new album, Over the Grave: the hymns of Isaac Watts, volume 1. This final post is a brief discussion on which songs would work best in a congregational singing situation.

Sojourn Music – Over the Grave Review, part 3
When I originally sat down to do this review, it was set to be one post. Later, it had grown into three, which I advertised on the @psalmsandhymns twitter feed. By now, we’re at at least four posts. Today, we’ll look at the second half of the album.
Sojourn Music – Over the Grave Review, part 2
Yesterday, I began reviewing Sojourn Music’s new album Over the Grave: the hymns of Isaac Watts, volume 1. Today, we will look at the individual songs more in-depth. Tomorrow, we’ll ask the all-important (and oft-neglected) question, “Can the congregation sing it?”
Sojourn Music – Over the Grave Review, part 1
Travis recently asked me to post some thoughts on the new Sojourn Album, Over the Grave: the hymns of Isaac Watts, volume 1.
This album is the first of a two-album Isaac Watts project by Sojourn Church in Louisville, Kentucky. (Though a Baptist church, Sojourn is also affiliated with the Acts 29 Network, a group seeking to plant gospel-saturated churches worldwide.) This album has been described by the musicians at Sojourn as “Hi-Wattage”, meaning an indie-rock feel, while the next album will be more folk/acoustic influenced, hence, “Lo-Wattage”.
Let’s get the genre out of the way. There’s no way I would describe this as an indie-rock album. But that’s not a bad thing.
