Catholic Playlist #103

Catholic Playlist #103You already know our tag line of “sharing the joy of the Gospel through the power of music”, which means playing the best and some of the very newest contemporary Christian music from Catholic artists only.

But this week we really demonstrate that commitment! For the newest music, we have a song from Andrea Thomas’ brand new album “Will You Go”, a new single from Audrey Assad, another song from Fr Kevin McGoldrick’s album that’s coming out soon, and we’ll play “Coming Home” featuring Tori Harris again. As for the best in music, we have Matt Maher who just won 2 Dove awards, the most prestigious awards in Christian music. One was for Songwriter of the Year and the other for Worship Song of the Year, “Because He Lives”.

Other great artists in the playlist include Dee Simone, Collin Raye, Dante Schmitz, Matt Faley and more.

Catholic Playlist Worship – #31

Catholic Playlist Worship #31Some ‘classic’ favorites make an appearance in this week’s episode of Catholic Playlist Worship. First, there’s a 1975 recording of “Turn to Me” from the Saint Louis Jesuits. While it’s not recorded with the best quality (it’s probably a digital copy of the original vinyl recording), it nevertheless will bring back fond memories of hearing it for years at Mass.

More fond memories are in store with “Hear I Am, Lord” from Dan Schutte, but this one is a special 30th anniversary release, so it sounds great. Other artists appearing this week include Anna Nuzzo, Jon Sarta, Twila Paris, James Rosenbloom, Jackie Evancho and more. Enjoy playlist #31!
