It'sMusic Monday and I want to spotlight Fred Hammond. Today I'm listening to Fred Hammond's latest project "God, Love, Romance".
Fred released this project in January, 2012 with much praise and a healthy dose of critics. I'm still in the process of listening to the entire 2-cd project which is a change from his normal heavy hitting praise and worship based projects. This project is focused on the love between not only God and man, but between a man and a women, which is natural, right? So why all the fuss over this project by the "saints"?
Take a listen to what Fred Hammond has to say about it, keeping it all the way real.
It'sMusic Monday and I want to spotlight Donnie McClurkin. One of my very favorite gospel artists. I've been a huge fan of Donnie's since his very first self titled project. His voice is unique and he has the ability to escort you, through praise and worship, into the very presence of God.
While I love many practically all of his songs, the following song in particular always puts a spring in my step and joy in my heart.
"Days of Elijah"
These are the days of Elijah Declaring the Word of the Lord, yes And these are the days of his servant, Moses Righteousness being restored And these are the days of great trial Of famine and darkness and sword So we are the voice in the desert crying Prepare ye the way of the Lord
CHORUS: Behold he comes Riding on a cloud Shining like the sun At the trumpet's call Lift your voice It's the year of jubilee And out of Zion's hill salvation comes
And these are the days of Ezekiel With dry bones becoming as flesh And these are the days of his servant, David Building the temple of praise, yes And these are the days of the harvest The fields are all white in the world And we are the laborers that are in your vineyard declaring the word of the Lord
CHORUS 2X Behold he comes Riding on a cloud Shining like the sun At the trumpet's call Lift your voice It's the year of jubilee And out of Zion's hill salvation comes
There's no God like Jehovah (x8--modulate) There's no God like Jehovah (x8--modulate) There's no God like Jehovah (x7)
CHORUS X2
These are the days of Elijah Declaring the Word of the Lord, yes And these are the days of his servant, Moses Righteousness being restored And these are the days of great trial Of famine and darkness and sword So we are the voice in the desert crying Prepare ye the way of the Lord
CHORUS: Behold he comes Riding on a cloud Shining like the sun At the trumpet's call Lift your voice It's the year of jubilee And out of Zion's hill salvation comes
And these are the days of Ezekiel With dry bones becoming as flesh And these are the days of his servant, David Building the temple of praise, yes And these are the days of the harvest The fields are all white in the world And we are the laborers that are in your vineyard declaring the word of the Lord
CHORUS 2X Behold he comes Riding on a cloud Shining like the sun At the trumpet's call Lift your voice It's the year of jubilee And out of Zion's hill salvation comes

Today is my very first Music Monday and I want to spotlight Ben Tankard, a GospelJazz Musician. For the past few weeks during my work hours I've been listening to a Pandora channel I created based on this artist.
Unlike most people I have a difficult time listening to (and fully enjoying) music with lots of lyrics while doing any type of work that requires me to really process what I'm doing. It's just a distraction for me, so listening to the smooth sounds of Ben and others similar to his style has been very relaxing during my sometimes hectic days.
His bio states:
As a modern day "David" and often referred to as "The Minstrel," Ben Tankard has a strong anointing to play under the unction of the Holy Spirit and has witnessed tumors melting, people being raised out of wheel chairs, deaf ears opened, and relationships mended in his concert-crusades.
Tankard states, "signs and wonders must follow when a minstrel plays. We should expect debt cancellations and all other yokes to be destroyed and burdens lifted when our music is played."
Who wouldn't want to listen to music this anointed!
