All About Worship Collective, Volume One – Download For Free Now!

We are very excited to announce the release of All About Worship Collective, Volume One! This project is a result of much blood, sweat, and tears. The album features worship leaders like: Jared Anderson, Dave Fitzgerald, Darrell Evans, Sarah Reeves, Lisa Gungor, Jenn Johnson, Joshua Seller, Matt Reed, and others.

This Collective consists of 10 worship songs that can be used in a corporate setting. We also provide you with free chord charts to all the songs! Not only that, the entire album is F-R-E-E! However, it is only available for a limited time, so hurry and head over to THIS PAGE and download the album now!

This is one of the biggest projects we’ve worked on to date, so we hope you find this resource not only helpful and inspiring, but something you are eager to tell everyone about.

We are praying for a great response so that we can start planning for Volume 2, Volume 3, etc.

Announcing the All About Worship Collective, Volume One

Hey there! If you’ve been around All About Worship for any length of time, you probably realized quickly that we are committed to resourcing the local church, especially worship leaders and songwriters. Going along with this mission of ours, for some time now we’ve had a desire to help resource local churches around the world with songs that glorify God and edify the Body of Christ.

Enter…All About Worship Collective – Volume One. We are in the midst of working on a very exciting project, which we are calling All About Worship Collective. It’s a collection of worship songs by various artists including: Darrell Evans, Sarah Reeves, Joshua Seller, Dave Fitzgerald, Matthew Reed, and others. The best part about this project is that it will be free to download from Noisetrade!

Our desire is to make this resource available to churches of all sizes and locations and eliminate any possible financial barriers that may not allow churches to utilize this Collective. Any donations received through this project will enable us to continue providing resources like this and many of the other things we provide.

We are planning on releasing this project on August 30th, but we need your help in getting the word out! Whether it’s posting about it on Facebook, Twitter, or your blog, we would really appreciate you helping us get the word out to as many people as possible. If you would like to commit to doing this, please let us know by RSVP-ing on this Facebook event page or by leaving a comment on this post…

BTW, we plan to have the chord charts to all the songs available for free right here on our website when the album releases.

Darrell Evans Live Acoustic – CD Review

Singer/songwriter Darrell Evans recently released a new album called Darrell Evans Live Acoustic, and it features a great collection of his songs recorded live with just Darrell and his guitar. Darrell is the writer of such classic worship songs as “Trading My Sorrows”, “Freedom”, “Let The River Flow” and “Your Love is Extravagant”, of which the last two are featured in this collection.

The simple mix of just the single voice and guitar is such a refreshing sound, and it allows you to really hear both Darrell’s amazing voice and beautiful guitar skills. It’s a very intimate sound, which lends itself very well for your times of personal, private worship. There are many very good songs for corporate worship as well, with simple, easy to learn melodies and lyrics.

Darrell is a good friend of All About Worship, with several podcast interviews. I was privileged to hear a few of these songs from Darrell last year at the All About Worship Retreat in Kansas City, and also when we had Darrell come to our church in Wisconsin for a concert. I so enjoyed both of those times of worship with Darrell, and now this CD allows me to revisit those times and worship again and again through these powerful songs.

Darrell Evans Live Acoustic - Darrell Evans

Some of the tracks that stand out to me on this recording are:

“You Could Never Be Praised Enough” - This song is definitely my favorite track! It has such a simple chorus, so easy to learn, but then he expounds on who God is and what He has done. It’s a powerful song of worship!

“Your Love is Extravagant” - This may be one of Darrell’s best known songs, both from Darrell’s previous releases, and also because it was covered by the group Casting Crowns. This acoustic version gets back to the basic, quiet intimate setting, which seems to fit this song best.

“Worthy Is The Lamb” - This powerful, yet simple worship song would be perfect for communion or any other time when you’re speaking about how He is the perfect Lamb of God who takes our sins away. It also shows off Darrell’s incredible vocal range.

This is definitely an album you’ll want to pick up either for your own personal times of worship, or for corporate gatherings. To get a taste of what this album is like, watch this video below of “You Could Never Be Praised Enough”.
