Music from the Road 2: Steven Curtis Chapman, Rich Mullins & Geoff Moore

If you could see my MP3 folder, you might wonder why a Steven Curtis Chapman track wasn't in the first post of this series. Chapman's music by far makes up the largest chunk of my music folder and its playlists. This is a favorite from Speechless, 1999.

Rich Mullins' album "The Jesus Record" came as a two-disc set. The first disc features the low-quality microcassette demo recordings of the songs Mullins made in an abandoned church. Nine days after making that tape, Mullins tragically died in a car accident near Bloomington, Illinois (about 2 hours from where I live now). Disc 2 of the "The Jesus Record" is the posthumous studio-recorded versions of these songs, performed by the members of Mullins' A Ragamuffin Band.

Here's the microcassette demo version of "Surely God is With Us":

And the studio version of the song, by A Ragamuffin Band:

Title track from Geoff Moore's 1997 album Threads.
