As another year of music draws to a close this week, it seems appropriate to look back over 2010’s catalog of releases to highlight some of the standout albums of the year. Producer extraordinaire Aaron Sprinkle finally released his band Fair‘s sophomore album, entitled Disappearing World on Tooth & Nail Records in February. Melodlic, thoughtful, […]

We Recommend: Ayiesha Woods, “Christmas Like This”
Christmastime is here! If you’re like me, you’ve been spinning those Christmas tunes that you grew up with and even some more modern offerings that you’ve added into the rotation in recent years. Well, one worth considering is an album that flew pretty low under the radar last year. Not […]
We Recommend: Seabird, “Over the Hills and Everywhere” EP
With Christmas swiftly approaching, it’s time to start dusting off the seasonal tunes and get into the spirit of the Christmas season. But with each new year comes new recordings from artists hoping to become part of your annual Christmas music rotation. Last year, Seabird released a 2-song Christmas EP that offered […]
We Recommend: Third Day, “Southern Tracks”
As Third Day gets ready to release a new album next week (titled Move — we recommend it as well!), it’s tough not to look back over what the band has created since their 1996 debut. But in 1999, the band released a more rootsy album titled Time, leaving behind a lot of […]
We Recommend: Jars Of Clay, “Much Afraid”
Much Afraid was actually one of the first albums I really got into. Although Jars Of Clay’s sophomore project isn’t as predominant as their classic self-titled debut, it still manages to stand on its feet. The first half of the album features great pop rock tunes like “Overjoyed,” “Fade To Grey,” and […]
We Recommend: As Cities Burn, “Come Now Sleep”
As Cities Burn had a great start on Solid State Records, but after Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest, they seemed to be done due to having no lead vocalist anymore. Thankfully, they got the position filled and they came back with Come Now Sleep. It was one of those seemingly rare […]
We Recommend: 2010 Summer Music Guide
I thought a “special edition” of JFH’s “We Recommend” was in order to feature Summertime recommendations. Now, keep in mind – this is by NO means a comprehensive list of music that is perfect for your Summer music enjoyment, but this is simply some tunes we recommend for crusing to […]
We Recommend: Mojo and the Info, “Doctorate In Cold Rockin’ It”
The O.C. Supertones held a top spot in many Christian music fans’ hearts, with their light-hearted – yet always deeply spiritual – ska music. After Five Iron Frenzy called it quits, The Supertones ended up not being too far behind. In 2008, their lead singer, Matt “Mojo” Morginsky, took some […]
We Recommend: Philmore, “Philmore”
I sorta hesitate to recommend this album to the fine JfH readers. Reason being is because, in all honesty, it’s not really all that good of an album. But Philmore‘s self-titled album is fun, quirky and, if nothing else, entertaining. Now “Our Finest Hour” is a good song, so it does […]
