Rambling Anthems

---

I wrote most of these songs while I lived in Oregon last year. It was a time in my life when I was a volunteer with Gospel Echoes and traveled all over the place playing music in prisons and churches. And while I did go out on the road and play music all the time, I think these are the songs that were really in my soul. They’re mine – they’re what I really cared about.

So listening to this collection is like being transported to the upstairs room of a white house on Pine Street. It’s got a hardwood floor, white attic truss ceilings, a few thrift store paintings on the walls, my bed, and a white desk with a white chair. You walk in quietly and sit down across from a nineteen year old kid with a guitar and listen. I wrote all of the songs, and all save one were recorded with a mic plugged into a box which was plugged into my computer and run through audacity. It’s not anything like what you hear on spotify – these are Rich Mullins in the church with the tape recorder type songs.

I made about 13 copies (I say ‘made’ because I bought CDs and cases, drew the cover page, cut them to fit….) and gave them to some friends. And now if anyone else should care to hear these songs, I’d be happy to send them your way. This is a finished, not perfect type of project – which I believe is a really important concept…for another time.
