Time Life will release the highly anticipated project, Songs 4 Worship Country Live, October 27, 2009. Recorded live at the famed Ryman Auditorium, this unique album showcases Country music stars performing the best-loved and most well-known  Praise and Worship songs.  Each tune was personally selected by the artists and the power and passion each one brings to “their” song is guaranteed to move the listener.

Songs 4 Worship Country Live follows Time Life’s highly successful studio album, Songs 4 Worship Country, which debuted in 2007 and has remained on Billboard’s Top Country album chart since its release. The Songs 4 Worship series has sold more than ten-million units since its launch in 2000.

Songs 4 Worship Country Live spotlights remarkable appearances that were recorded last summer on the stage of the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.  The location for the concert was a perfect choice since the Ryman originally was a church before it was transformed into the “mother church” of Country music.  The pairing of the two genres of music is a natural given Country gospel roots.  Such popular Country artists as Ricky Skaggs, Richie McDonald, Collin Raye, Bryan White, Susan Ashton and Rebecca Lynn Howard showed their strong Christian backgrounds by delivering powerful, uplifting performances of favorite Praise and Worship songs including; Above All, Holy Is The Lord, Heart Of Worship and the #1 Christian hit, Revelation Song, which has stayed at the top of the Christian radio charts for an incredible thirteen weeks. The live show is enhanced with additional performances from Alabama, Diamond Rio, Alison Krauss & Union Station and a previously recorded live performance by Randy Travis of the Praise and Worship classic, “Open The Eyes Of My Heart.”  

“Praise and Worship music at its very essence is about community,” says Mike Jason, Time Life Senior Vice President.  “This intimate and powerful album gave each artist the opportunity to record in what was originally a place of worship, the Ryman Auditorium.  The place, the artists and music combine to create a very special experience.”

Songs 4 Worship Country Live will be distributed to retail and digital online outlets by WEA, Inc.  The CD will also be available through upcoming Time Life television ads and through the company’s website, www.timelife.com.
