Bellsburg Sessions

Worktapes More Songs Of Rich Mullins

Brand NEW Music CD

American songwriter and Gospel music icon, Rich Mullins, penned and recorded treasured songs such as “Awesome God,” “Hold Me Jesus” and “If I Stand,” before his tragic passing at the height of his career 25 years ago. Millions of listeners have connected with his music over the decades, and a wide array of recording artists have been impacted by his simple musical arrangements and raw lyrics. The New York Times describes Mullins' music as "a mix of folk, Americana, gospel, Appalachian and Celtic influences. What makes it stand out most is his lyrics. Christian music has been accused of being shallow ― infused with a saccharine “Yay, Jesus!” corniness. Mullins, in contrast, was authentic and raw.” The artists featured on Worktapes have all been deeply influenced by Rich's music.

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of his passing, various artists gathered in his historic home in Bellsburg, Tennessee to record an 18-track album called Bellsburg…the Songs of Rich Mullins. Worktapes…More Songs of Rich Mullins is the timely follow-up featuring more artists covering more of Rich’s beloved songs amid sparse arrangements and Americana instrumentation. Produced by Andrew Greer, Anthony Hoisington, Chris Hoisington for Old Bear Records and Dave Trout of UTR Media, Worktapes features notable gospel-folk artists including Josh Wilson, Jess Ray, Mitch McVicker, Skye Peterson, John Tibbs, Andrew Greer and Brothers McClurg, plus a never-before released Mullins original from the vault of his pre-fame career. A life that continues to impact so many, Worktapes…More Songs of Rich Mullins (Old Bear Records) provides a continuing tribute to the life and music of Rich Mullins
