Songs And Artists With Books Of The Bible In Their Names, Vol. 1

I've been working on this miniseries of music posts off and on for quite awhile. For one thing, I've been practically obsessed with compiling "Opposites" posts for who-knows-how-long and this one's been on the back burner. For another, it's pretty hard to find a song or artist for every book in the Bible (there are 66 in all). But I've given it my best effort, and these are what I came up with. This will be a three-part series, of which this is (obviously) part one. Not all the songs/artists in this collection are specifically Christian groups. In fact, it's likely that there's more of them that are not than are. But, again, I found what I could find, and that's all I can do. Parts two and three are coming soon. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs By Artists With American Cities In Their Names

I hope you've noticed that my last couple of music posts did not involve "Opposites." I'm trying (not too successfully) to break that nasty habit, but I won't make any promises. Here's another non-"Opposites" post, consisting of songs by singers or bands with American cities in their names. I may do a Vol. 2 of this at some point, highlighting artists with international cities in their names. But again, I won't make any promises. Enjoy!  ~  JH
