Jacob Sahms, Music EditorNovember Thanks... and Worship
Jacob Sahms, Music Editor

Before I get into the focus of this month, which is worship, I have to admit that I am excited about our "Twelve Days of Christmas Music" coming December 1st-12th. I hope that you'll come back each day for the first two weeks of December and enjoy what Nate and I have cooked up!

But the focus of this month's newsletter is the stack of worship music on my desk, so here goes!

Tim McGraw
Southern Voice

Countrified Wonderful

The older McGraw gets, the more reflective he becomes. It's natural, right? It's just part of life that the longer we live, the more experience we gain, and we can look back and see our successes (and failures) in Blu-ray clarity. But the other difference I notice as I continue to listen to Southern Voice, McGraw's tenth studio album, is that he is becoming decidedly more spiritual in his lyrical delivery.

Now, recognizing that McGraw doesn't have a single recorded credit for the songs' lyrics, it's amazing how easily he slides into the different voices and deliveries that the songs provide. Whether it's the serious but solemn "Mr. Whoever You Are" or the funny "It's A Business Doing Pleasure With You" (also the album's first single), McGraw's voice and delivery captures the spot-on sound that makes each song seem like a home run.

Switchfoot Drummer Chad Butler
Nowhere Is Safe

HJ: First off, I really enjoyed your new album. I can't wait to see how the rest of your listeners like it! Can you explain the title "Hello Hurricane" a little bit?

Chad: Thanks a lot. We had an opportunity to work with Habitat for Humanity in Baton Rouge after Hurricane Katrina. We worked alongside a lot of people who inspired us, but particularly one woman who lost her leg in the storm and was learning to walk again. We hope the album embodies the idea of facing the storms and trials of life head on and sharing that same spirit.

HJ: Which song did you personally connect with the most?
