About Me
- Red Mountain Music
- We're just a group of people who dig the depth and beauty of old hymns. We've made six records of ancient text set to music written by us and our friends who are scattered all over the country. We are based out of Red Mountain Church in Birmingham, AL. We are not really a "band"; our projects are spearheaded by Brian T. Murphy and Clint Wells, and musicians, vocalists, and songwriters are recruited from all over the place. Bradley Cordell manages all of our projects from start to finish and we could not function without him.

this isn't really related to your latest release, but it was cool this morning as i used the gadsby hymnal to do a devotion with my 13 yr. old son....
i had him read the words to #102(dearly we're bought), then we discussed them and then had him listen to song again...
i'm not really good at talking about stuff with people, but it's cool to use the songs as a basis for learning and discussion....
looked up the words redeemed and esteemed in dictionary...i couldn't really explain what those words meant at first...
Dear RMM,
This is about your philosophy: I almost totally agree with you. I haven't read it all, however. I'm a Youth Pastor and am scrambling (surprise, surprise), so I apologise if I've missed an element that my comment is addressing. My favorite name for God is The Ancient Of Days. I love our connection with the saints of the past and emphasise it with our youth group (of just under 100 Jr and Sr High students who attend Wednesday night, Sunday morning or both and love to sing)...BUT...is God doing anything NOW in terms of poetry/the writing of lyrics? Or is this part of our "cessationist bent" (conviction for some). Your philosophy seems to not include contemporary expressions of the Christian experience in lyric form. Have we thrown out the "baby".
Humbly and Sincerely,
Bob, Youth Pastor at Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church...and I'm 48 years old...ancient!
P.S. We'll see you at YOWAW in February!
terry - that is a beautiful story. thanks for always being so encouraging.
bob - we use some new words. our friend mo leverett wrote a song that we used on our first cd, and we sing it at church. we try not to be hymn snobs, but it's hard because it's just so much easier to find beautiful text when it is older. if you have new text you are excited about we would be happy to look at it. look forward to meeting you in february as well!
