Project features most popular songs from Purpose Driven Church Conferences

Orange County, CA – June 2001 -- Encouraging Music announces the release of Volume 1 in a new series of musical resources for Purpose Driven Churches: SOUNDS OF SADDLEBACK (S.O.S.). Serving as Producer for the project, Saddleback Church Pastor of Magnification RICK MUCHOW relates, “Sounds of Saddleback Volume 1 is a compilation of fourteen incredible songs recorded by just some of the many faithful singers and musicians who are part of the family at Saddleback Church. My prayer is that you will share the message of these songs with the world.”

The project features many of the most popular selections from the Thursday Evening Concerts during Purpose Driven Church Conferences, including:

1) an exclusive recording of RICK MUCHOW’s often requested version of “I WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN” by Geoff Bullock.

2) the original version of the popular “MAKE ME YOUR VOICE” by HABIB BARDOWELL.

3) the tender trumpet and acoustic guitar solo “BEAUTIFUL” by jazz musician and producer TONY GUERRERO, about whom Contemporary Jazz Review says “…make every effort you can to see Tony Guerrero live...”

Overall the project is an eclectic mix of musical styles including stirring ballads, praise and worship, jazz gospel, latin, pop country, and more. Resources include the CD, and Lead Sheets for each song, along with RealAudio and MP3 song samples at EncouragingMusic.com or via the direct link: http://www.encouragingmusic.com/rick/discography.asp. Selected streaming video samples will be available at the site as of July 2nd.
