new music monday

sorry, no original music here, you'll have to visit mandy's page for that...
However, I have finally spent my iTunes gift cards and thought I would share the results with you. Though I originally said I had $20 in GC's, I actually had $30, so I got a little more than I had hoped for.
Three Full Albums: Derek Trucks Band "Already Free", Third Day's "Revelation", and Ashley Monroe and Trent Dabbs Self-titled Album.
Individual Songs: "We Shine" Steve Fee (Passion: God of this City album), "I Will Not Be Moved" Natalie Grant (Relentless album).
And there you have it, $30 spent in one Monday evening - after watching 24, of course.
I'll have to say that I went into this process being a little wary of Third Day's new album. I love their older music, but haven't liked much from them since "Time." I was impressed enough to change my mind. The two singles are songs that I've wanted for some time now and like a lot. Looking forward to some new artists in my repertoire with Trucks and Monroe/Dabbs.
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I now have 2.2 hours of new music to listen to!

recommend music for me

I've got $20 in itunes gift cards from Christmas...

What should I purchase? What are the best cd's you've listened to lately?

On his blog, Jake recommended the Derek Truck's Band "Already Free" album.

What other suggestions are out there?

I normally lean towards rock and southern rock styles of music

in both "Christian" (hmmm... what does that mean) and "secular" realms.

sister tharpe is my "guitar hero"

It's like watching your grandma play with Chuck Berry! She rocks!!!
