What Do You Think of the New Credo House Playlist? Thumbs Up or Down?

Well, the current list is very Jazzy. I am going to try to do something new here. But either way, Dylan can fit here.

Very heavy in the ’90’s – which is in my wheelhouse a bit. Since you have Pearl Jam mentioned, how about any of the new stuff from Vedder’s Ukulele album? Specifically “More Than You Know.”

I would suggest adding some Toaad the Wet Sprocket (maybe Fly to Heaven) and some Jars of Clay (pretty much anything will fit). If you want to add some really good bluegrass, you can add Balsam Range to to mix, and maybe a little Norah Jones for some smooth jazz.

David

Haha Dave!

The current list has John Coltrane, Red Garland, Miles Davis, Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan. (Jazz, blue grass and Dylan)

So when you come by I will put that list on. 🙂

Being of Generation X, I approve of this playlist.

George Strait (blah).

Need some Neal Morse or Transatlantic – prog rock with decidely Christian lyrics. Morse’s “?” album is a prog rock fest based on the tabernacle. IT is simply awe inspiring, and still cool and jazzy enough for your coffee house.

The Trane, Miles, Bill Monroe and The Stanley Brothers! Back to back? I’m on my way!
Might I suggest Jimmy Smith’s “The Preacher.” Seem appropriate.

Six songs by Matchbox Twenty, one by Pearl Jam. I think that speaks for itself… 😉

Thumbs up, but it could use some Milano.

Thumbs Down!! I can count one hand the songs I know. Of course crossing the 50 mark may have some bearing on this. You’ll understand when you get older and they play most of this stuff on your local elevator or dentist’s office.

Perfect playlist if we were a 90’s rock coffee shop…all I’m going to say for now…you can play that when I’m not here.

You know I love you bro…just not the playlist.

Thumbs down! Not one Southern Gospel song. I can honestly say that I’ve never heard about 95% of the songs and never hear of about 90% of the artists.

I’d say great, Yoakam…he’ll be more appreciated as time goes on…superb, but someone still needs to introduce Michael to Steely Dan.

How about adding Michael W. Smith’s “Friends”? Great thoughts for Christians, especially the line that says “Friends are friends forever if the Lord is Lord of them.”

“And I’ll Rise Again” by Dallas Holm. Can’t think of any song more moving and convincing about death in Christ than that one. Sure want it played when I go to inspire people that all is not lost when a loved one or friend passes.

Well, I guess at my age (51) has something to do with my view. Some of the list I’m certainly familiar with, some I’ve heard of, others I don’t have a clue! I totally don’t get U2. Never have. Nothing about them musically (or Bono’s politics) inspires me in the least.

if you add “she is love” by parachute, I might stop by

and nothing by the Fray?

I had to ask for the gift of the Spirt called “do not ban” when I read this: “I totally don’t get U2. Never have. Nothing about them musically (or Bono’s politics) inspires me in the least.”

🙂

 I mean, “Where Were You” by the Fray fits with your book

RE: Fray.

Foolish oversite; now corrected. Thanks for using your gift of discernment. Many will benefit.

Not a single R&B or Funk artist? I know where I’m not welcome….

Oops, my bad, you managed to squeeze the Fugees in there… Sorry, not good eno0ugh. If Stevie Wonder and George Clinton aren’t welcome in the Credo House, neither am I…

Delwyn, our current playlist has

Stevie (“Sir Duke”, “Golden Lady”)

Parliament (“Mothership Connection” I would do some Funkadelic as well but the lyrics are too questionable so I had to refrain … but … if I could … (Not Just) Knee Deep or One Nation Under a Grove would definitely make the list),

Cymande – “The Message” and “Brothers on the Slide”

The Meters – “Cissy Strut”

William DeVaughn – “Be Thankful For What You Got” (not entirely funk though)

Gil Scott Heron – “The Revolution Will Not be Televised” (again not entirely funk – however, in my opinion, the real first hip hop song)

Curtis Mayfield – “Superfly”

The list goes on….

Along with jazz and bluegrass and reggae and dub and alt pop, classical, folk, 80s pop, and rock and R&B etc etc….

Michael is just creating a new playlist with songs he likes. We are in the process of discussing the choices. 😀

Oh also … anyone remeber the US3 song, Cantaloupe? That’s on the list as well ….

Along with the Herbie Hancock version (meaning the original version which he himself composed and played on as Freddie Hubbard, Ron Carter and Tony Williams accompanied)

oh and now Shugie just popped up …

Shugie Otis …

Sorry everybody, I tend to geek out on this stuff.

I am responsible for the playlists here at Credo so I am super sensitive about these thing. 🙂

Carrie: But NO Southern Gospel???????????? Who’s responsible for this outrage!!!!???? 🙂

Hey now, there is some southern Gospel by way of The Stanley Brothers!! 😉

If you want to talk bluegrass Gospel, how ’bout The Primitive Quartet? 😉

Seriously, if you haven’t listened to Southern Gospel lately, it has really grown to be more than four guys singing harmony around a plinky-plink piano. The harmonies are still there and are, IMHO, better than ever. But now they are blended with rich orchestration and modern melodies. Contemporary Southern Gosple is more like modern praise and worship music only it has real harmonies. Give a listen to Gold City, The Hoppers, the Talley Trio, Legacy 5, or Ernie Haase and Signature Sound. You’ll find youself like me saying “THIS, is Southern Gospel??? Wow!”
