Fall Playlist

As I have spent so many hours at home these past few months, I've been listening to even more music than usual. So just for fun this weekend, I figured I'd share a taste of what I've been listening to these days. {Guilty confession: as I write this I'm listening to Shakira (en Español of course). But hey, don't pass judgement on me for that one. It's hard to take 7 years of straight Spanish classes and not have some respect for those pipes.} Some of you may look at this list and know every song, but some of you may not, so I hope that you find something you like! I'm always always always up for new tunes, so feel free to comment if you have some suggestions! 
1. Rock of Ages by Auburn RUF 
I haven't found a way to listen to this unless you buy the CD. Which is totally worth it! I'm so thankful for the way the Lord used worship at RUF if my life during my time at AU.
2. The Wine We Drink by Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors
My favorite from their latest CD. They never disappoint! 
3. I Will Wait by Mumford & Sons
4. In Memoriam by the Oh Hellos 
Get the whole CD for free! I discovered this brother sister duo last fall while procrastinating and searching the depths of Noise Trade. I have since spread the word to everyone I know and apparently thousands of other people have seen the light because they are quickly gaining popularity.
5. The Bad Days by David Ramirez 
I saw David in one of my first weeks here in Des Moines at a house show and he cemented every bit of respect I have for him as a musician and writer. Deep, honest, and so talented. 
6. Back to the Love by Handsome and Gretyl
7. Not Walkin Away by Emily Hearn
I had never heard of this lovely lady until she played a house show at the Castle House (where I lived my last year in Auburn.) But I was thoroughly impressed by her and she's a good lighthearted fun one to put in the mix. 
8. An Anthem of Invitation by Judah & the Lion
I realize this is a video of a guy painting, but it was all I could find for this song, and hey, he is pretty talented!
9. Thief in the Night by Stephen Gordon
No playlist for any season ever would be complete without a song from this guy. The trouble is just choosing which song to pick! I was first introduced to him when he led worship for a PCA Fall Retreat when I was in high school. He has also played at the Castle House and will always be one of my favorites. 
10. Go by Sandra McCracken Click here for her website. To the right you can listen to Go and download part of her album. Anyways, this woman has blessed me so much through her music, both on her own and in her Indelible Grace songs. In fact, both the songs sung before our wedding were hers! If you've never heard her angel voice - get ready! 
11. The Proof by Dillon Hodges 
12. Doxology - Yup the classic, performed by Stephen Gordon and Grace & Peace PCA worship team in Bowling Green, KY. Just go ahead and download the whole thing. You know you want to. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. It does my soul good to add this in the mix. 
13. Lay Me Down by the Oh Hellos
Ok I know I'm getting repetitive, but this is from their EP, not the same album as the other! 
14. Scarlet Town by Gillian Welch
Man this woman impresses me. You may remember her from her role in Oh Brother Where Art Thou. She's homely and haunting and this album may be one of my all time favorites. 
15. Green Eyes and a Heart of Gold by the Lone Bellow
16. Hail to the Lord's Anointed by Indelible Grace 
Ok, so I indirectly snuck in another Sandra song. Get used to it. She, Stephen Gordon and the Oh Hellos will not make their way off of this blog any time soon. 
17. Lost and Found by Katie Herzig
This has been a favorite since the summer before last. When I was first introduced to Katie I thought she was too much pop and not enough folk for my usual tastes. But she is just awesome. That's all. 
18. Another Story by the Head and the Heart
