— The Sounds of Jubilee —

the soundtrack to ‘the year of jubilee’

 

A 14-song soundtrack to the novel "The Year of Jubilee" by Cindy Morgan, featuring some of Nashville's most respected singer-songwriters. I wanted to co-write all of the songs with the guest artists/performers/heroes that I invited to be part of the record: Tom Douglas, Tommy Sims, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Jonathan Kingham, Marcus Hummon, Phil Madeira, Seven Fold, Stephen Leweike, and Andrew Greer.

On this Veterans Day I wanted to share a song I wrote a few years ago with my friend, Frank Myers. There will never be another like the velvet king who also served in the Army from 1958-1960. Thank you to all our Vets who have served. - Cindy

 


– Autumn & Eve: Old Testaments Vol I

 
AutumnandEve - FINAL - 3000.jpg
 
 

The stories of the Old Testament have always stood as a reminder of how God uses the most flawed of his children to do miraculous things. There are so many stories of heartbreak, war, disappointment, tragedy and endless waiting, among other things.

I have felt that my own life in the last few years has shared some of the same road with some of the stories of old. Loss and failure. Disappointment and miracles walking hand in hand.

I spent a lot of time outside while I was writing these songs. I recorded some of the sounds that surrounded me as I wrote and included them on the project. I wanted you to hear what I heard and feel what I felt as the songs came into being.

The record is so simple. It was my aim to keep it as sparse as possible while still communicating the emotion of the stories and songs. I’m so grateful to be my co-producer Kyle Buchanan for helping make that possible.

I hope you hear your own story in some of these songs and can feel the mercy of God that has been reaching out to us across the ages and is as present today as it was when we are only dust.

- Cindy

— About Cindy Morgan —

Cindy Morgan

Singer. Songwriter. Author.

From gospel to pop to Americana, Cindy Morgan is an insightful voice across musical genres as she has grown to become one of Nashville’s acclaimed songwriters. An East Tennessee native, Morgan’s evocative melodies and brilliant songwriting have poetically and prolifically mined the depths of life and love both in her own recording and through songwriting for noteworthy artists around the globe.

Coming off her her 2015 release, Bows & Arrows (Folk Album of the Year at the Canadian Covenant Awards), Morgan has moved through a significant season of loss and change which has proved to be rich soil for the soul and has led to the release of the 2019 EP Autumn & Eve: Old Testaments Volume I. The first in a three-part series, listeners will find a familiarity and a freshness in the moody, Americana nature of Morgan’s latest EP, as she explores the places where her own story meets the ancient stories. The songs infuse Old Testament struggles with modern day heartache. “Weight,” the first single from the forthcoming EP, combines Morgan’s signature vocals with a modern folk earnestness, and is available November 2018.

Nashville singer/songwriter Cindy Morgan is a two-time GRAMMY® nominee, a thirteen-time Dove winner, and a recipient of the prestigious Songwriter of the Year trophy. Morgan has 21 number one radio hits to her credit, and has penned songs for notable artists including David Archuletta, Vince Gill, India.Arie, TJ Shepherd, Rascal Flatts, Ricky Skaggs, Amy Grant, Glen Campbell, Mandisa, Natalie Grant, Michael W. Smith, Point of Grace, Brandon Heath, Britt Nicole, Sandra McCracken, Josh Garrels, Sierra Hull, Kris Allen, and EchoSmith among many others. In 2017, Morgan’s song “Bird in a Cage” was performed by Robert Redford and Sasha Lazard in the movie Blind starring Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore. Cindy has authored three books, Barefoot on Barbed Wire (Harvest House Publishers, 2001), Dance Me Daddy (HarperCollins, 2009), and her memoir, How Could I Ask for More (Worthy Inspired, 2015) in addition to being a co-creator of the charitable Hymns for Hunger Tour, which has raised awareness and resources for hunger relief organizations across the globe.
