Album Of The Day: A Liturgy, A Legacy & A Ragamuffin Band by Rich Mullins

Album Art of Rich Mullins's A Liturgy, A Legacy & A Ragamuffin Band album - A man wearing a big, thick brown coat with buttons down both sides is only shown from neck to waist with hands clasped in front of the waist and behind looks like a field or landscape with some bushes or trees in spots. In a hand-written-looking font, the band name is in the center with the album name below in white. Around the edge is a hand-drawn border.

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Released on this day 31 years ago, this album is the most timeless Rich Mullins ever sounded, thanks to a talented band of Nashville session players and engineers. While other albums from Rich are a bit more '80s pop that feels dated or a bit more country than my favorite, this feels to me like a great pop/rock album which sounds great even decades later. Rich Mullins was a great songwriter, making beautiful melodies and writing lyrics that are sacred but also exposed his flawed humanity. From the opening of "Here In America" to the closing of "Land Of My Sojourn", this album is great to play right through. Though you might know "Creed" or "Hold Me Jesus" the best if you've listened to Rich Mullins before, the album has some great musical moments that are not as well-known.
