Religious music for less than devout


We have a thread " Jazz for someone who doesn’t like jazz. " In a similar vein perhaps "Religious music for the less than devout".

"people get ready" - Rod Stewart
"Amazing Grace" - Jessye Norman
2009 "Duets" - Five Blind Boys of Alabama, The - entire CD
1988 "Sweet Fellowship" - Acappella, the entire CD

In 1989 I was working in NJ, I may have been the only guy on the job who did not know he was working for the Irish Mafia. I would lend people the CD "Sweet Fellowship" and they were willing to pay for it but never return it:

"Here is $20 kid, go buy yourself another cuz youz can’t have mine back. Now don’t ever ask me again."

Wow! I'm surprised that no ones mentioned Bruce Cockburn. God is in many of his songs. I like "Nothin But a Burning Light" LP. All great songs and well recorded. Check it out. "Cry of a Tiny Babe" is a standout. Joe
Waiting for a miracle is one of my favorites of his.  I think he has a big catalog of releases, starting in the 70’s.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned The 77’s, Mike Roe was the front man, I think.  Only a few releases, but pretty good stuff.  All Fall Down was one of their better releases.
