New Albums

I couldn't contain myself. My gift certificates to Amazon.com and iTunes were burning a hole in my pocket so I picked up three really great albums last night.

Eddie Kirkland has an album out entitled "Orthodoxy" that I stumbled upon when I was looking for versions of "How He Loves" by John Mark McMillan. Eddie is a worship leader at North Point Church. And yes, his version of "How He Loves" is awesome.

After I stumbled on Eddie's album, I was perusing through the list of albums that other users purchased and stumbled onto Brett Younker whose album "This Is Life" is fantastic. He's like a US-version of Tim Hughes. In fact, he covered "Holding Nothing Back" by Huges on this project. Brett also happens to be a worship leader at North Point. Seeing a trend?

Lastly, I grabbed Al Gordon's EP entitled "Future Sound." I was familiar with most of his songs since he featured them on worshipcentral.org but he rearranged most of them and they sound much different mixed in a studio. It's another fantastic album.

I'd say all three are must-haves.
