S2:E20 Catholic Playlist Worship #63

New artists and music is what the Catholic Playlist is all about. This hasn’t always been true however for the Catholic Playlist Worship version of the show. After 62 episodes of the show, we don’t see the same kind of energy being put into traditional, sacred and classical music. Maybe we aren’t trying as hard, but it seems true to us. That’s probably why the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist and the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles from the De Montfort Music label took the classical music world by storm the last couple of years.

This week we find a new artist to share with you from the sacred music side. Lorraine Hess joins the Worship show this week with “Soul of Christ”, a new arrangement of the Anima Christi prayer. Jack Cassidy smoothly sings “Brian’s Hymn (When I Turn to You)” and the sisters of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles beautifully offer “Lauda Sion”. Other performers include Collin Raye, Liz Christian, Kitty Cleveland, Steve Angrisano and more.

S3:E21 Catholic Playlist Show #132

It's All About Mercy

You already know this is a Jubilee Year of Mercy, so we thought it would be fun to put together a playlist of songs with ‘mercy’ in the title or with a mercy theme, so this week our playlist is all about mercy. Featured is PJ Anderson with 3 selections from his new album aptly titled “Mercy, Mercy”, as well as John Finch, Tori Harris, The Thirsting, and Pontifex with the acoustic version of “No Mercy”, which is a bonus track on his album “The Invicibles”.

Next week our show will feature music from artists performing at World Youth Day 2016 in Krakow, Poland, and Dan Francis makes his debut on the Catholic Playlist as our New Featured Artist.

S3:E20 Catholic Playlist Show #131

Hear New Music from Ben Walther, Alob & Emily Wilson

Discovery of new music and artists is a key part of what the Catholic Playlist show is all about. Missing a show means you’ll fall behind in discovering great new Christian music that you can share with friends and family. Sometimes all it takes is one song to help someone dig deeper in their faith, or awaken a dormant faith, or just give a little inspiration and encouragement in their day.

This week we’re pleased to have new music and a new artist in the Catholic Playlist. First, Ben Walther released his second album titled ‘Ablaze’, a 5 song collection that exhorts us to become a light in the darkness. In fact the title track, which leads off the second segment of the show, does just that with this refrain:

“Let’s set the world on fire, let’s raise his banner higher.”

alobFollowing that debut we have a new single to share from Andrew Laubacher (a.k.a ALOB) and Emily Wilson titled “Mercy Wins”. Alob is new to the Catholic Playlist but not new to the Catholic music scene as he’s collaborated and worked with many Catholic artists like Connor Flanagan, Katy Blythe, Francis Cabildo, and now Emily Wilson. “Mercy Wins” was written by Emily and Andrew and they “hope this song inspires all to love God more and accept the Mercy that is so freely given to us – His mercy that conquers all.”
