The Blood And The Water Hymns of Isaac Watts: Vol. II by Sojourn is a very raw Christian Gospel album. "Why?" you ask. When Mike Cosper the pastor of worship and arts at Sojourn Community Church in Louisville Kentucky explained the recording process he said "We recorded it essentially live on an old tape machine, and we allowed what happened to happen. It's imperfect in many ways - microphones bleeding into one another, mistakes left unedited - but in a way, it's a beautiful mess."
This CD is slower but something about it just seems kinda homie. Some of the songs sound like something you would hear people playing while rocking in a rocking chair on the front porch, and some of the songs sound more like a hymn you would sing at church. My favorite part about the CD is how original it is. To me it sounds like you went back in time and you are listening to some older music, It is very unique. My favorite song on the CD is "Blest Be The Lamb".

Cool! I've never heard of them, but it sounds like a really interesting CD.
Oh I love the hymns of Issac Watts! I just studied him for school, his hymns are meaningful. I would love to hear them put to music.
