For the first time in some time, I would like to strongly recommend some music to my blog friends.
Jon Foreman (lead singer of Switchfoot) has put out a series of acoustic albums that are strong on every front.
From the heart of a passionate artist, worshipping child, visionary lifekeeper, this man is giving his gift well – in a way that holds up to the highest artistic standards of the day.
With pleasure I downloaded his solo work from iTunes, and with pleasure I encourage you to do the same.
Jon, simply thank you for stirring the SoulWaters. I’m so grateful for the craftsmanship and living flame in this body of work.
Finally, I’m finding music from a poetic, believing man that’s going deep into my soul on many levels.

oh – you’ve got to go to http://www.fictionfamily.com
it’s a duo he’s working on with the guy from nickleback – free download of their new song (that i have been singing for weeks now) – very fun!
I agree, Dan! While I was in the midst of writing that song for my essentials red final project, a friend of mine recommended a song of Jon’s called “Instead of a Show”. I had forgotten about that until Rachel commented on my post saying I should listen to that song as well. So, I finally did, and he is fantastic! Glad to see you giving him props!
Hey guys just wanted to chime in on this. The Fiction Family album comes out later this month. It’s Sean Watkins from Nickel Creek that he’s working with on the project. He’s an amazing guitarist and very good songwriter. I’ve been a long time fan of Nickel Creek. And I’m looking forward to hearing more from this duo.
thanks Dylan, after I hit publish I knew it was wrong…
Oh Yeah Dan!! Right with you on that one. I bought a copy of Spring & Summer just before Christmas and it is fantastic. It even has brass on it…hooray!!!
I like the song “Instead of a Show”. God desires our mercy rather than a lip service show. He desires his justice and love to be demonstrated in the earth!
