Music Recommendations!

Now that 2011 has started with a bang I thought I'd give you a few CDs that I would most definitely recommend* to you for this new year! I'll just list them out (in no particular order) and add a few comments about genre, etc.

1. Andrew Peterson: "Counting Stars" (singer/songwriter and very mellow guitar based songs)
2. Charmaine: "Love Reality" (if you're a Mom of a teenage daughter you really need to buy her this CD!)
3. Ivoryline: "Vessels" (some good rock n' roll with great lyrics!)
4. Amberlin: "Dark is the Way, Light is the Place" (another rock record)
5. Andrew Belle: "The Ladder" (singer/songwriter from Chicago; just stumbled across this guy and he's great!)
6. Deas Vail: "Birds and Cages" (piano based pop/rock)
7. Sleeping At Last: "Yearbook" (very mellow with great lyrics! Their Yearbook project is very cool)
8. Lecrae: "Rehab" (hip/hop album of the year!)
9. Brooke Fraser: "Flags" (piano based singer/songwriter; Brooke also sings for Hillsong United)
10. Fair: "Disappearing World"(alternative rock; I love these guys!)
11. Gungor: "Beautiful Things" (a great worship record! You definitely need to get this one!)

* These are only my recommendations and I don't speak for the entire staff at ABC! :)
