City of Joy (live) ...Remastered!

A good friend of ours on Reverbnation, Jose, or JMOYA offered us a free re-master since he had purchased more than he could use. We took him up on his offer with "Roll the Rock Over". Now, it occurred to me that one of our most precious live songs could do with this same treatment. And, so it has been accomplished! Here is the link:

City of Joy (live) Remastered!

                                         

All this remastering does is up the volume and space out the instruments a bit, it cannot get rid of some of the glitches in the original, but it is a great improvement. Unfortunately, the version that is released on the albums "Refresh" and "The Joy" (available on major outlets) cannot be corrected to this version without re-submitting those albums. In the mean time you can hear it for now on ReverbNation.

In thanks for this, I wish to, once again, place a link to his RN sites as a gesture of thanks. Please, patronize this kind soul's music:

This song is EXTRA special to us in that it has been included in some way on every album we have ever done! Rejoice with us....

Peace & Love & JOY,

Our Living Waters Cross Picture!

Our Living Waters Cross Picture!

The picture we chose for the 'back cover' of our album, Overflow, is very symbolic. It is perfect for the subject matter of our album. It is precisely at the Cross, where Mary and John stood, that the victory was won. As the centurion pierced his heart after he died, this spoke of the flowing waters of Grace, now to be so freely available, especially in Baptism and Eucharist. You may notice we put in a back glow of dawning light. The Light of the World that all joined to Christ are called to be? this began to dawn and shine for us at that moment. His Resurrection was the follow-through, the blinding Light, that gained the Living Waters of His Spirit of Love for us. The songs, "Light of the World" and "Sunrise" at the end of the album come to mind.

This all reminds me of the vision that occurred at Knock, Ireland, in 1879, drawn from the symbolism of the Book of Revelation, based on the Cross and the Altar. We are not called "Living Waters" for nothing! We didn't plan all of these themes, but they are there! We invite you to listen to our album. Frankly? the best songs are later on in the album, but I am glad we preserved a certain thematic FLOW through the whole thing. Such skill in here, the fruit of decades of concerts, friendship and prayer. Dive in! and get refreshed....

Roll the Rock Over...Remastered!

Roll the Rock Over...Remastered!

A good friend of ours on Reverbnation, Jose, or JMOYA, also author of the "SY99" dance music site, offered us a free re-master since he had purchased more than he could use. I decided to take him up on this offer by sending him a song that I have long wished could be upped in volume at the very least. Now, it has been done!

ReverbNation Milestones for LW!

ReverbNation Milestones for LW!

We have recently attained some pretty notable milestones on ReverbNation. We arrived there back around 2011 or so. I made a lot of mistakes at first, engaging in some 'spammy'-type attempts at spreading ourselves, for which please receive my sincere 'mea culpa's. But pretty soon, I got into the groove of this very organic, grass-roots way of doing things over eight years: meeting artists one at a time, telling our story, recording and posting new music, until now we find ourselves looking at some great numbers. Here are some:

-we recently got to #13 overall in the world!
{NOW #4! as of 6/17/19}

- 201,839 equity points

- 22,192 fans on RN, FB, and Twitter

- 50,642 song plays on RN

- 83,948 visits on RN

We have recently had contacts with One Man in the Middle reviews, and AVA Live Radio. Thanks to all of you for the great love! We love you and pray for you....

Peace & Love & JOY, 

Mark LaJOIE!

Jesus Freak Hideout Podcast

Jesus Freak Hideout Podcast

We are mentioned in this Podcast at around 19:49 minutes. He gives a thumbnail sketch of our history. He notes that our sound "balances the classic rock sound" that was popular when we started, "....picking up other elements along the way and sometimes getting pretty epic in scope, but also knowing when to get simple and smaller, when to pull back and be tender....". He presents our song "Sunrise" as a balance of these two styles on "Overflow", playing a clip of "Sunrise" in the middle and playing the whole song at the end (39:38). Pretty cool, huh?

"Jesus Freak Hideout"...It's Coming....

"Jesus Freak Hideout"...It's Coming....

"Jesus Freak Hideout" just sounds like a place where a band from the 70's belongs, doesn't it? We are going to have a podcast that features us coming up on there pretty soon, as well as a download and an ad. The song from "Overflow" that they are featuring is probably "Light of the World" - I left it up to them. It has been great communicating with Christopher and John. They seem very dedicated to doing a good job. Just stay posted!!

*As of May 13! The podcast is now set for Wednesday, May 22nd! AND we will have an ad, a 'middle sidebar' running from May 24 to June 6. After that, they may do an album review....
