Yes, the CD is up on iTunes. Of course we want it to be available easily, but here's a little info for you...it's a little cheaper if you download directly off of this site, and 100% goes to the people involved in the project. But you know, we're grateful for however people spread the word! Enough about digital distribution...We are getting ready to send the CD to some friends and different media groups, magazines, etc for review. Brian and I (Tracy) actually burned copies of the CD with several different song orders on them before deciding on this final line up. There are many different things to consider in this final and important step, and actually a challenge I enjoy very much. I think of it the same way I think about facilitating a worship gathering when we gather as people with different perspectives and gifts and try to accomplish what Jesus himself prayed for us, "Let them be One, Father, as You and I are One..." (Jn 17).
Of course, the first track is always a tough one...There are several songs on the album that more fully encapsulate the theme's in Brian's new book, "Everything Must Change," that would have been very appropriate to "warm people up." But a large part of this project is not just Brian's message, it's an expression of Brian as a follower of Jesus and part of what I respect and admire so much about him as a person is that he is consistently kind. So, even though the song, "Kindness" would be the song I would send everyone off with after a worship gathering, I voted to start the CD project with it, in hopes that it would be the filter through which all other things are received and processed. And at the very end, it's a reminder, a hopefully ever present mantra, "We have nothing, if we don't have love."
Blessings, Tracy
