MIdweek Music: The Jennys, Dylan and My Favorite Christian Band

09 Wednesday Mar 2011

≈ 5 Comments

I get asked a lot bout what I am listening to. Maybe I should use this Midweek Music thing to share what I have been listening to over the past week…

I’m actually listening to The Wailin’ Jennys at this very moment and have barely let up since discovering them a few weeks ago.

U2 continues to be my favorite Christian band. 😉

“What Can I give back to God for the blessings he poured out on me?”

I’ve also been enjoying Dylan’s The Witmark Demos.

A week doesn’t go by when I am not listening to The Beatles.

And last, my kids love these guys…

What are you listening to?

Midweek Music: The Wailin’ Jennys

Having heard of The Wailin Jennys my first thought was it would be impossible for their music to live up to such an amazing name for a group. But this past Saturday night, we were over at a friend’ house and I noticed the music playing. I was told it was a Pandora station. I looked to see what singer/band it was based on and it was The Wailin’ Jennys.

So I made my own station on Sunday. Every time I heard an incredible song and checked to see who it was, it was the Wailin’ Jennys. I am now hooked on their music. It’s lush, beautiful music for those who like Patty Griffin, Alison Krauss, The Be Good Tanyas and The Peasall Sisters.

The first video is a behind the scenes look at the making of their newest album:

The second is one I cannot get out of my head. Even on amateur video it sounds gorgeous.
