Fred Hammond's New Album!

[musiclovesryan]

I am a true fan of Mr. Fred Hammond and I really think he is such a wonderful and spiritual man I was definitely eager to pick up his latest album with various artists this morning and let me tell you...these artists truly have a gift! Has anyone picked it up yet or at least previewed the tracks on i tunes? http://bit.ly/bGICsI
What are some of your favorite tracks off this album? Personally, I am really digging Hammond's "Dwelling Place" but Lawson's song is pretty moving too

Ouch ! so harsh.


ryan has been on the board before. I think he's changed his user name again. If you recall he likes more of the US R&B style music ie Usher, Raheem Devaughn, etc


Fred Hammond is a gospel singer. idk if some of you UKers will understand this music, unless you attend a Baptist church

A lot of jazz musicians play at churches that perform this type of gospel music. If you listen to the rhythm (bass and drums) you will hear it.

Rams ... talking with some of the cats in my area ... a lot of jazz musician hang around churches. Its almost like a practice gig. They get to practice on their instruments, and experiment with new sounds..etc. Some guys will work for 2-3 churches.

Sounds like the Church is filled with amazing musicians or amazing musicians are using/abusing the Church... which one is it?

sorry my post...drinking...lol


Naw what I was trying to say a lot of musicians perform with church groups. It's an easy/convenient way for them to practice. But still provide great music for the congregation.
