Album Of The Day: Bellsburg: The Songs of Rich Mullins by Various Artists

Album Art of The Bellsburg Sessions album - In the middle, a black-and-white photo of a small, simple house with a large tree in the right side of the front yard. The house has a covered porch behind the tree on the right side. Around the photo is a large, nearly-white gray border, and on the bottom it says 'Bellsburg' in large type and 'The Songs of Rich Mullins' below it.

In 1997, Rich Mullins, who wrote songs such as "Sing Your Praise To The Lord", "El-Shaddai" and "Awesome God" in the decade or so before, passed away in a car accident. 25 years later, friends of his and new artists that were inspired by him drove out to the house he once owned in a rural area called Bellsburg, outside of Nashville, Tennessee. Right in his former living room, they recorded new, simple covers of his well-known and lesser-known songs. It's definitely great to hear these songs being performed by old-timers and the next generation of singer-songwriters. Plus a few rare, unreleased, early tracks by Rich Mullins himself are included in this album as well. It's a great remembrance of one of my favorite songwriters of all time.
