Need Music Recommendations Please

[Keith]

Constant: I will do a Google search on Mercy Me and see what they do. Thanks for the suggestion!

waitingforhim: Lots of great suggestions there, thanks. It may sound dumb but it never dawned on me to turn on the radio! That's how much I never listen to music!

Tilly: Thanks for the suggestion! I will check out "i worship" and see what they're about. I'm all about the praise and worship!

otherone: Thanks! I don't think those are my tastes, but you did remind me of some of the older - and I do mean older - music I like. People like Mahalia Jackson.

kraz4gsus: I've not heard of any of these artists, (no big surprise!) but I will check them out. Thanks!

nebula: I've heard good things about John Tesh. I've heard all the dumb jokes about his music, too, but when you consider the source...! I'll check him out. I do remember liking Michael W. Smith a lot when I first became a Christian. I've heard that he's on a real mission to worship the Lord and I like that. I'll definitely check out your suggestions. Thanks!

ZOEgirl: I'm definitely not into the rock sound, but I really do appreciate you taking the time to respond and help! Thanks for your kindness!

JesusisGod2: I'm familiar with Don Francisco's music and I really like him! I'd forgotten all about him. I didn't think his music would still be available, but I'll be hunting it down for sure! It also reminds me of another artist that I really like: John Michael Talbot. Are you familiar with him? Will look into the others you mentioned, too. Thanks for your help!

Sarah Groves and an unknown so far by the name of Ray Watson.  He has a cd called In the Secret Place.

Hi again Keith. Just thought of some more music you could check out. The 'WOW' cd's are awesome.

Keith,

It depends on what music you think you would enjoy.

I like contemporary and rock music, but really don't like pop music.

So I find "rock" Christian bands like Jars of Clay, Third Day, and the Passion CD's.

But my all time favorite is a solo artist called Lincoln Brewster.

He is the best musician of any of the Christian artists. I suggest getting the "Live to Worship" CD.

Hi Keith,

Don still has his music ministry going strong, he goes all over the globe. He doesnt deal with record companies anymore because they wanted to limit his freedom of choice of the music he feels that God has led him to produce. He does everything at his home base at Rockymountainmimistries.com and like I mentioned you can get all of his old stuff. One Heart At A Time is another great cd.

I really like Terry Talbott and John Michael Talbott as well. I still have some music from when they were Mason Proffitt.

Richie Furay used to be with Buffalo Springfield and Poco before he got saved and man his music for God is powerful and full of the Spirit.

God bless you Keith,

Kevin

Hey Dime,

Lincoln Brewster. He used to be with the band Journey. It is amazing how many rock musicians are being converted to the Lord, give Him praise. If you can get any of the old Dion DiMucci cd's, they are great as well.

I am going to look into that Brewster album you mentioned.

Hey Keith, I love Casting Crowns, Stephen Curtis Chaoman, and there is this one girl I have just recently heard of named Hayley Westenra. She has the voice of of an angel, and I am not exagerating a tiny bit. Casting Crowns, and Stephen Curtis Chapman have really good songs that, I swear, con change alot of lives. I hope that helps you out a little. God Bless.

It also reminds me of another artist that I really like: John Michael Talbot.  Are you familiar with him? 

I know the question wasn't addressed to me, but I have some John Michael Talbot CD's.

And yes, his music is good! I have Songs for Worship, Vols. 1 & 2, Trabadour for the Lord and a couple others.

JMT is also one of those you know who's heart is in the right place.

I didn't know those things - that is really, really cool!

Thanks for the info!

I've never listened to Casting Crowns (that I know of), but I agree about Steven Curtis Chapman. He's got life changing stuff. All of his CDs are awesome, but if I had to choose, I would go with Speechless or Declaration. There's one song on Declaration that is one of my all time favorites. It's called Magnificent Obsession.

Then there's Free, Remember Your Chains, The Invitation..... Hmmm....think I'll put it on.

I do reccomend "Songs for Worship" by Integrity Music.

Check http://www.integrityeurope.com. for the website!

I know this may sound a bit odd, but I need help in choosing some worship CD's.

I've never been a "fan" of music for some reason.  I don't dislike it.  It's just never been a big part of my life.  I never play the radio and have never bought very many CD's. 

I would like to start incorporating music into my relationship with God and need some recommendations for really good worship music.  Music that worships God for who He is.  Thank you in advance!

It used to be second nature to me

To want to turn and walk away

Since I met you those days are gone

Now I want to stay, and say
