Time to look through Leeann’s CDs and see what is on here I might enjoy. Need to make a new mix CD and Leeann’s massive CD collection has to have most of what is on this list. Best part of threads like this is finding something you missed.

I definitely spelled that wrong. I meant “Live This Life.”

Big & Rich’s “Live This Live” is simply fantastic.

there have been quite a few that i’ve liked:
“All In Good Time” – Marcus Hummon (in the conversation for greatest story songs).
“The Lucky” – Warren Brothers (One of my all-time favorite songs)
“She Must Be So Happy” – Jeffrey Steele (it’s on iTunes as “So Happy”)
“Hey God” – Jeffrey Steele
“The Eleventh Commandment” (About child abuse) – Collin Raye
“What if Jesus Came Back Like That” – Collin Raye
“A Bible and a Bus Ticket Home” – Collin Raye
“Love Remains” – Collin Raye
“She’s Gonna Fly” Collin Raye
I Can Only Imagine – Emerson Drive or Jeff Carson
“Nobody Loves Me” – Derek Webb
“Awaiting Redemption” – Hal Ketchum
“That’s What I Love About Sunday” – Craig Morgan
“On A Cloud” – Cross Canadian Ragweed
“Distant Shore” – Dierks Bentley
“The Carpenter’s Way” – Hal Ketchum
“Jesus In LA” – Marcus Hummon
“Stand Up (Song For Jesus)” – Marcus Hummon (his wife is a minster)
“Life is a Church” – Marcus Hummon
“Oh What A Piece Of Work Is Man” (an interpretation of the Shakespere sonnet) – Marcus Hummon (It’s probably his best vocal ever too).

I know there are lot more but thats what I have for now.

“That’s Just the Way He Was Raised” by Josh Turner off his most recent album is really, really good as well … Josh is good at having one or two really nice spiritual/religious songs on each album (in addition to covers, which apparently was addressed in the comments of that post).

Here are some that come to mind…

Alan Jackson (Alison Krauss) “The Angels Cried”
Johnny Cash “No Earthly Good”
Johnny Cash, “When The Man Comes Around”
Josh Turner/ Ralph Stanley, “Me And God”
Randy Travis, “He’s My Rock, My Sword, My Shield”

And some more (not quite the right genre, but I figured I would include them anyway)…
Nickel Creek “The Hand Song”
Nickel Creek “Doubting Thomas”
Ralph Stanley “King Of All Kings”

I can’t believe I left off Lee Ann Womack’s “Stubborn (Psalm 151)” and “Something Worth Leaving Behind.” Crud.

As a clarification, I don’t like the Tim song because I’m listening to it right now, the fact that I’m listening to it right now is what made me think of it.:)
