  • Sing Nöel (2017)

    Sing Nöel is the 14th studio and 4th Christmas album by the Christian female vocal trio Point of Grace . The CD was originally released and sold exclusively at LifeWay Christian bookstores through their LifeWay Worship custom label on October 20, 2017. The original CD contains 10 tracks of holiday music focused on the timeless truths of Christmas carols. It was specifically designed to capture the "spirit of the season" by blending classic hymns from old hymnals with festive new arrangements. The trio members noted that while they had three previous Christmas albums, they realized there were many classic carols they had never recorded. They used "old Baptist hymnals" during the early stages to select songs that expressed the foundations of their faith. Tracks include "Angels From the Realms of Glory," "See Amid the Winter's Snow," a medley of "Mary, Did You Know?" and "What Child Is This?" and others. Sing Nöel was produced and arranged by Kent Hooper and Phillip Keveren. On October 29, 2021, the Christmas album was made available on digital platforms and released on Word/Curb Records with a new album cover just for the digital release and an original bonus track "Gloria (The King Has Come)."

  • Give Yourself Away (2009)

    Give Yourself Away is the 14th studio album by the Christian music group NewSong . It was released on their own record label HHM Records in association with NewSong Ministries and marketed and distributed by EMI Christian Music Group on November 24, 2009. Give Yourself Away marked a return to NewSong with their first new studio album in six years. During that time, the band went through personnel changes. Drew Cline left after only appearing on their 2006 Christmas album The Christmas Hope . Christian vocalist Nate Sallie took Cline's place as the lead singer in 2007, but has only appeared in concerts while NewSong was on recording hiatus. In 2009, Russ Lee returned to the band as lead singer, just as Sallie departed. Lee recorded Give Yourself Away with NewSong throughout 2009 before it was released. The album marked the band's first collaboration with artist -producer Charlie Peacock , giving it a more modern rock sound, but still keeping some adult contemporary elements when it comes to ballads. In addition to producing Give Yourself Away , Peacock co-wrote six songs with Eddie Carswell. Lee, Matthew West and Michael O'Brien contributed co-writing tracks. The final song on the album, "Every Child (Deserves a Home)," was produced by Kevin Ward. Highlights include the title track, "That's What Mercy Is" and "Too Wonderful." In a promotional campaign reminiscent of DeGarmo & Key 's D&K album, the Give Yourself Away CD comes with a "giveaway" CD that comes with a card-sleeve to give to a friend or to someone who needs it as an evangelistic tool. The album charted in 2010 and peaked on the following Billboard albums charts: -#10 Top Christian Albums -#5 Heatseekers Albums -#149 Billboard 200 Albums Give Yourself Away is not available for streaming or for digital download purchasing.

  • NewSong

    NewSong is an American contemporary Christian music group that was established in 1981, at Morningside Baptist Church in Valdosta, Georgia. They have several Dove Award nominations and a Grammy Award nomination. They are also the founders of the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular which started in 1995. It is the United States' largest annual Christian music tour. Winter Jam has artists perform including Skillet , MercyMe , Newsboys , Audio Adrenaline , Natalie Grant , ZOEgirl and many others. NewSong has provided support for organizations working with abandoned and underprivileged children. For years they worked with World Vision. Then in 2006, NewSong became involved with Holt International, a faith-based humanitarian organization and adoption agency based in Eugene, Oregon. NewSong originally started as a southern gospel quartet. The original four members included the current members Billy Goodwin, the lead vocalist, and Eddie Carswell, the primary songwriter, and former members Eddie Middleton and Bobby Apon. Before NewSong, Middleton was a country music singer and released a self-titled album in 1977. NewSong recorded three custom albums independently in 1981 and 1982. Then also in '82, they signed on with Covenant Records, and released their debut album The Son In My Eyes that year. In 1984, they signed with Word Records and released their second album The Word on their label Canaan Records. NewSong stayed on the Word label until 1992 and released more albums like Trophies of Grace , Say Yes! , Light Your World and Living Proof . And like the other, more successful quartet at the time, The Imperials , NewSong's sound would change throughout the years going from southern gospel to contemporary Christian. In 1993, NewSong signed with Benson Records and released All Around the World that year. It was also the final album to feature Middleton and Apon as they both left the group after more than a decade. Middleton remused his solo career after he left NewSong and then died on August 21, 2021. The following year in 1994 with just Goodwin and Carswell, they both recruited songwriter Leonard Ahlstrom, soloist Charles Billingsley, musician Scotty Wilbanks and former Truth vocalist Russ Lee and released their next Benson album People Get Ready and reinvented NewSong as a band. The album was very successful on the Christian AC chart with number one hits like "My Heart's Already There" and "When I'm With You." It also contains a re-recorded version of their signature song "Arise My Love," which NewSong originally recorded in 1987 on their Say Yes! album. In 1996, Billingsley left NewSong to resume his solo career. Their next album Love Revolution was released in 1997 and produced more number one hits like "Rhythm of the World" and the title song on the Christian AC chart. They next released their compilation album Arise My Love: The Very Best of NewSong in 1999 containing hits from their Benson releases and three new songs. That same year, Apon later died by suicide on May 17, 1999. In 2000, NewSong went through more personnel changes as Lee and Wilbanks left and brought in Christian vocalist Michael O'Brien, Steve Reischl and former Truth member Matt Butler and released Sheltering Tree in October 2000. NewSong caught the attention of radio personality, Isaiah "DC" Daniel (then, of "Steve & DC") and began collaborating on Sheltering Tree . It was on this album that NewSong introduced a Christmas bonus track entitled "The Christmas Shoes." Ahlstrom left NewSong after this release. "The Christmas Shoes" was released to mainstream AC radio as a single and climbed to number 1 on the Billboard AC chart. Shortly after this, the Benson label was shut down and folded and NewSong stayed on the Provident Label Group and released their next album The Christmas Shoes on the Reunion Records label in 2001, containing the title song from Sheltering Tree and other holiday recorded tracks. In 2003, NewSong earned their only Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album for The Christmas Shoes . That same year, NewSong released their final album on Reunion Records entitled More Love . In 2004, NewSong left Reunion Records and signed with Integrity Music and released a live CD and DVD called Rescue: Live Worship in 2005. A year later, O'Brien left NewSong to resume his solo career and Drew Cline was asked to replace him. In September 2006, Goodwin, Carswell, Butler and Cline released their next Christmas album The Christmas Hope . In 2007, Christian solo artist Nate Sallie joined NewSong temporarily as their new lead vocalist but only for touring. Russ Lee eventually returned to NewSong as lead vocalist in 2008, replacing Sallie. NewSong released their next album Give Yourself Away independently on their own label HHM Records. NewSong continues to tour and record into the 2010s and 2020s and are still hosting Winter Jam concerts yearly.

A companion DVD was also released containing the same track listing as on the audio CD. The concert was taped at First Baptist Church in Woodstock, Georgia on November 14, 2004. Rescue: Live Worship was produced by Paul Mills and former NewSong member Scotty Wilbanks performs with the band handling vocals, keyboards and co-producing the live tracks. Some editions of Rescue: Live Worship contains a second CD of bonus tracks including the Tim Hughes worship hit "Here I Am to Worship," a three-song NewSong medley of their radio hits "Red Letter Day," "Wonderful One" and "Can't Keep a Good Man Down," and new recordings of "People Get Ready" and "Defining Moment." The bonus tracks are also in their live DVD on the menu options tab. Three singles were released with the tracks "Rescue," "Psalm 40" and "Before the Day" all hitting number one on Radio & Records' Christian Inspo chart.
