S3:E29 Catholic Playlist Show #140

Every so often we like to have a little fun with our playlists. This week we lead off with a fun song simply titled “Sing Along” by David Casper. Aptly subtitled “Catholic Love Song”, if you’re a single person be prepared to sing along with the refrain as this song is for you. Lee Roessler just released a new album titled Coming Home and we debut the first single released from it titled “How Sweet the Sound”. Finally, we found a song from Sarah Hart’s new album Till the Song is Sung that we’re digging now titled “Source and Yield”. We hope you’ll like it too.

Others joining these great artists in the playlist include Chris Bray, Dave Moore, Emily Wilson, Ike Ndolo, Matt Faley and others.

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.”

Song List
Ben Walther – “Ablaze” Amazon iTunes
Alob & Emily Wilson – “Mercy Wins” Amazon iTunes
Rebecca Roubion – “Anywhere I Go” Amazon iTunes
Adam Bitter – “Rest in God Alone” Amazon iTunes
Steve Angrisano – “A Rightful Place” Amazon iTunes
Joe Zambon – “I Just Want Peace” Amazon iTunes
Aly Aleigha – “You Are” Amazon iTunes
Shaun Garrison – “Exceeding” Amazon iTunes
Kevin Heider (feat. Alanna Boudreau) – “The Great Flood” Amazon iTunes
Pasquale Talarico – “Arise” Amazon iTunes
Rachel Ann & Cassandra Acree – “Fill Up My Darkness” Amazon iTunes
Francis Cabildo – “Make Me Whole” iTunes
Matt Faley – “Here I Am” Amazon iTunes

S3:E15 Catholic Playlist #126

It's Mary's Month!

Catholic Playlist #126Like I said in last week’s post for Catholic Playlist Worship #55, the month of May is one of my favorite months. First, it means the season of spring is now getting into full swing (finally) here in Ohio, the end of the school year is now just days away, it’s my birthday month and last but certainly not least, it’s the month dedicated to the Blessed Mother! To mark this occasion, I’ve put together a special playlist this week featuring 8 songs about Mary. I couldn’t quite fill the entire playlist with Marian songs, but I think you’ll still enjoy the distinct theme of the playlist.

Our songs about Mary come from Connor Flanagan, Danielle Rose, Kevin Heider, Jesse Manibusan, Fr Kevin McGoldrick, The Thirsting and one of my new favorites is Matt Faley’s take on a real classic – “Ave Maria”.

Here’s the full playlist in random order:

Matt Faley – “Ave Maria” Amazon iTunes
Connor Flanagan – “Sweet Maria” Amazon
Danielle Rose – “Mary’s Heart” Amazon iTunes
