Redemption Songs is a collection of reinvented hymns and spiritual songs. As part of a church community that believed passionately the blessing of understanding the story of redemption through early church songs and ancient hymns,Jars of Clay found themselves a part of a growing renaissance, one that inspired them to write new songs using the rich hymn texts as the foundation. This renaissance was the beginning of Redemption Songs, a blend of familiar hymns, spirituals and ancient texts.Collaboration
The band enlists vocals of friends including
The Blind Boys of Alabama (“Nothing But the Blood,” “On Jordan’s Stormy River Banks I Stand”),Sarah Kelly (“I’ll Fly Away”) andMartin Smith (“Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder”).
