It’s time to bust out the Christmas music!
I was given the opportunity to review the newest album from The Good Shepherd Band, called Repeat the Sounding Joy Volume I.
The band is led by Jody Killingsworth who serves as Assistant Pastor for Music and Worship at ClearNote Church, Bloomington, Indiana. For the album, the band is joined by adult and children’s choirs and an orchestra of musicians from the Indiana Jacobs School of Music.
Every December the band holds a special evening service called the Good Shepherd Band Christmas Sing-A-Long. At this sing-a-long they put a contemporary spin on the traditional carols and Christmas songs. This Christmas album is the result of these services.
In 2009 I had the opportunity to meet The Good Shepherd Band when they came to lead worship and put on a concert at the first Feeding Shepherds Conference I hosted for youth pastors at Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary. They are a wonderful group of guys who have a enormous passion for God. That passion is heard and felt in all of their music.
I have thoroughly enjoyed their first two albums and their new Christmas album has not disappointed either.
Repeat the Sounding Joy is fun and exciting! They use a variety of instruments to add uniqueness to the songs. What is so great about these songs is that they are not just fun, but they are also filled with Scripture and truths about Jesus Christ.
You will want to be listening to this album all during this Christmas season and many more! You can head over to their website to download it and check out their music video below.
