National Distribution Deal for Songs From Sunday Morning, Vol. 1

Songs From Sunday Morning, Vol. 1 has been picked up for national distribution and continue to do well!   

Here’s what people are saying about Songs From Sunday Morning:

“Songs From Sunday Morning is a skillful, contemporary Christian music set with a boatload of Grammy winners and other decorated musicians on board.  Taking sacred music and giving it a Latin/smooth jazz vibe, there’s something here that grabs you, almost like listening to something like Sacred Steel or some other similarly situated unexpected treat!”

Chris Spector - Midwest Record

 

“Songs from Sunday Morning is a great CD and one we truly believe honors and glorifies God.   We pray the Lord will use this project to minister to listeners and bring people closer to Him!”

Christian Music Review Team

 

“Gospel is not a genre of music I listen to on a regular basis but recently received a CD from Lisa Reedy Promotions and Holy Mountain Music and decided to give it a listen.

Songs From Sunday Morning Vol. 1 is the first release from Holy Mountain Music, a production and publishing group founded by arranger/producer Bobby Bush.  Their first offering contains new versions of gospel standards and classics. 

The music is jazzy and funky, but not overly so. What you do hear is a groove that is undeniable and one that provides a positive message.  Guitarist Rick Bowlby is a highlight throughout the album.  I’m not sure if he does work outside of Christian music but I wouldn’t mind hearing a full album of his guitar work.

As for the material, the titles are familiar but you haven’t heard them like this: “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”, “Nothing But The Blood”, “What A Friend We Have In Jesus”, and “Crown Him With Many Crowns”. There is a spoken intro at the beginning of the featured track (Tis’ So Sweet) and immediately you feel like you’re entering church awaiting the good word from the pastor. 

When it comes, you feel comforted and want to listen to it all. Despite the Christian themes of all of the songs, one does not have to be a Christian to enjoy the music.  There is nothing wrong with wanting and seeking good in yourself and life, and the way they perform on this CD is definitely uplifting.  

You can look to jazz or go into the church and see real musicians playing the music that satisfies them, but it is interesting when the gospel and jazz worlds collide.  Songs From Sunday Morning Vol. 1 will be re-released in June of 2008.  If you are a fan of good gospel music, you will find it here!”

Songs From Sunday Morning Vol. 1 will be available at most retail stores through CLG Distribution.
