Peaceful and Relaxing Christian Radio
WOTR listeners have long been blessed and inspired by the wonderful music of Stanton Lanier. This is why we are especially thrilled to announce that Stanton has graciously provided us with several new albums which we are in the process of adding to our instrumental station, starting with his latest collection of soothing melodies entitled “SO LOVED”:
We’re excited to share with you an album by Jan Mulder we just added to our Instrumental Hymns station:
Jan Mulder’s Favourite Hymns, selected and arranged by pianist Mulder, performed by the Amsterdam Sinfonietta Orchestra and Dutch flutist legend Thijs van Leer. Inspirational and soothing to the soul.
We’ve added another great album by JJ Heller to our Acoustic Praise station:
“JJ Heller’s eighth album, I Dream of You, falls into the category of “children’s music,” but that description is somewhat limiting. The songs here are more substantial and thought-provoking than your typical lullabies or nursery rhymes. As a Christian singer/songwriter, Heller has long dealt with themes of love and family from a perspective of faith. She shifts her focus to the younger set on I Dream of You without compromising her lyrical insight. Combining new versions of five previously recorded tunes with six new compositions, the album has a sparkling folk-pop sound built around acoustic guitars, light keyboards, and orchestral touches. Heller tempers her motherly tone with a sense of life’s larger heartaches. “The Sun Will Rise,” “I Get to Be the One,” and title track are warm, reassuring, and quietly wise. Tracks like “I Know You Will” hint at a greater spiritual love between God and mankind. “Sailing the Sugar Sea” and “Boat Song” contain an adult pang of longing under their whimsical surfaces. Smart and sincere, I Dream of You holds appeal for families beyond Christian music circles.” – iTunes
We’re recently added Andrew Peterson’s album to our Acoustic Praise station:
“Offering a long-awaited prequel to his curiously titled 2008 release, Resurrection Letters, Vol. 2, acclaimed Christian singer/songwriter Andrew Peterson returns to a familiar subject on Resurrection Letters, Vol. 1. Arriving a full ten years after its thematic partner, Vol. 1 eschews the autobiographical nature of the singer’s previous few releases to deal directly with the resurrection of Christ. Delivered in Peterson’s signature roots rock style, the 2018 album was again produced by Ben Shive and preceded by another offering in this song cycle, Resurrection Letters: Prologue, which appeared a few months earlier.” – AllMusic
