There is much Biblical precedent for the soul-soothing powers of music. We find great healing and peace in meeting the Lord in music. These ten albums will light the way.
The Christian music scene has just come through a season in which worship music was hugely successful commercially. But these albums are those which gauge success in very different terms. Suite has chosen these albums for the heart behind them as much as the stellar music they have created. Click on the link for the complete Suite review.
Selected as one of the Year's Best Albums by Suite, Leeland's "Sound of Melodies" is nothing short of stunning.
From Canadian rockers downhere, "Wide-eyed & Mystified" is another one from the Year's Best List. This band excels across the board, from the actual craft of writing, to their exciting vocal arrangements, to their uplifting message.
The Afters are another band who came out of the gate swinging, and "I Wish We All Could Win" overflows with exciting musical excellence.
Tree63 has been doing what they do long enough to know how to craft songs of deep passion, offered up on "Worship Volume 1: I Stand for You."
Michael Gungor's "Ancient Skies" is deeply atmospheric, transporting you to a new place of worship if you're willing. We only wish it was a full-length.
Fronted by Jason Ingrim, The Longing is a band of sincere worshippers, making "The Longing" a quick pick for any list of great worship music.
Worship artist Sean Feucht has sat under some of the great worship mentors, and it all shows up on "Waiting."
Kris Huston's "Enter In" is thick with both passion and funk, a winning combination.
Brenton Brown's writes the songs the whole church sings, as revealed on "Everlasting God."
Becki Ryan's self-titled EP is just enough to tease you, but don't despair. She's working on her full-length now.
