City Alight is the new album from St Paul’s Castle Hill. It has a fresh mix of great rock and pop songs for congregational singing or passionate solos while driving in heavy traffic. I recently spent time with some of the band; they seem to be creating a great culture of grass roots song writing in their church. What a great encouragement to their church and the church more broadly! My favourite tracks are the first and last Not Alone and Forever and Always. Check their website to hear samples of each track.

It’s not Friday. It’s been 5 days since I last posted. But let’s pretend I wrote this on Friday (I’ll back-date the post). Mars Hill Church in Seattle have been generously providing their church music for free download for many years. One of their bands, Red Letter, have recently released a full studio-quality album Red Letter. Led by Pastor Joel Brown, the band is a mix of rock, indie and grunge. Sports people often play heavy music to get psyched up before the big game. This album isn’t that heavy, but as a preacher I’ve been encouraged by the Jesus-centred lyrics on the way to speak at a group/event.

Of the 9 tracks, my favourite are: 5 One Righteous Man; 6 Psalm 139; 2 Led to the Slaughter. Download it for free or nominate your price to support them financially.

Check out Jake Armerding’s album Her. You can download the whole album for free at Noisetrade.com. Jake Armerding’s genre is listed as Folk Rock/Americana, but as you listen you’ll hear an eclectic range of genres. The violin and some of the duets give some of the tracks a country twang. While there are jazz, roots and blues vibes in others.
