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?"]]> http://www.psalmsandhymns.com/2009/07/16/sojourn-music-over-the-grave-review-part-2/ ravis 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.]]> http://www.psalmsandhymns.com/2009/07/15/sojourn-music-over-the-grave-review-part-1/
