Music Minute

Hey sports fans! I've gotta tell you, I agree with Mandy. November is my favorite time of year. Pretty leaves, college football, cooler temperatures - they all make it so much fun.

My favorite thing this November is that my team, the Tennessee Titans, are 9-0 and the only undefeated team in the NFL. Did y'all know they used to be the Houston Oilers? I remember watching the Oilers in Michigan as a kid. I was a Lions fan then, and had no idea I'd grow up and move to Nashville and they would too, and I'd be a fan. Which is an odd testimony to how much things can change in your life!

So let's see what's changing in Christian music this week. There's just one featured album today - November is a notoriously slow month in the music industry. But there's still lots to check out!

What's new: A lot of compilation albums came out this month. Look for best-of albums from Switchfoot, Audio Adrenaline, dcTalk, and Nichole Nordeman. There's also new stuff from Starflyer 59 that's worth checking out.



California indie-rock band Starflyer 59 released Dial M, full of haunting, powerful rock tunes. From what we've heard, this album sounds like a drive down a desert highway at night. Lead vocalist, songwriter, and producer Jason Martin says this album is all about the loss of someone close to him. Check out "The Brightest of the Head."



What we're looking forward to: We've said it before, and we'll say it again, Jeremy Camp's new album, Speaking Louder than Before, releases on November 25th. In the meantime, have a listen to the title track.
