Being back in Parmelee was amazing. Much of the journey was blogged on , and Brandon posted several times throughout the week as well on . Once we get all of the pictures from the week together, we're going to put together a video, and I'll upload it to YouTube once it's finished. A sincere "thank you" to all those who were praying for us.
I didn't listen to much music during the week, but when I did, it was Josh Rouse's new album, . I wrote about Rouse in the first Music of the Month post last September, and when I heard he had released a new album, I got it immediately. It is amazing. It's so good that I was compelled to write a , the first I have written for the website. Here's what it says:
Josh Rouse, I believe, is one of the best unknown singer-songwriters out there today. Subtitulo, while both mellow and upbeat, is a culmination of everything he has done to date. As I listen to this album, I constantly find myself astonished how seamlessly he has integrated sounds he honed on 1972 and Nashville into a distinctly Spanish setting.Every song is a gem, my favorites are the cool "Summertime", the catchy and familiar "It Looks Like Love," and the almost Egyptian-sounding "Wonderful". This album is a must-have.
Subtitulo is, I believe, my first official album of the summer.
