Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast)

You can pre-order the the DVD, the CD, and the digital download right now at RickLeeJames.Bandcamp.com, and we're even throwing in a free download of the first single. We hope you'll enjoy today's Podcast and help spread the word about Basement Psalms release on March 1, 2013.

Matt Scott's new album, Poets & Saints,  was recorded live at Mad Oak Studios in Allston, MA. Repurposing hymns from as far back as the 1700s, Matt Scott retells the Redemptive Narrative of the world's creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. Engineered by Benny Grotto (Aerosmith, Ben Folds), the album is sure to find favor amongst fans of Dylan, Wilco, Ray Lamontagne, and Ryan Adams. With its back porch, Southern-soaked, folk-country twist, this album will cause you to re-imagine the way you experience hymns. Poets & Saints is Matt Scott's first full-length studio album and is available on iTUNES. Also, be sure to check out the featured documentary for studio footage and the story behind the album.

LISTEN HERE [audio http://rickleejames.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/episode-55-spider-man-soul-and-matthew-cole.mp3] Pastor Matthew Cole joins us once again on Voices In My Head for a theological discussion of the soul.  In light of certain events that were played out recently in the Amazing Spider-Man #700 which resulted in a mind/body exchange, we're Spider-Man fans on the Podcast, we felt like this week would be a good time to have a discussion about the soul. Matthew and Rick deal with questions like: "What is the soul in the Biblical sense?" "Do most Christians know what the Bible actually says?" "Is Spider-Man a Jedi? All this and more on this week's Voices In My Head Podcast with Rick Lee James.

My guest this week on Voices In My Head is Nashville Singer and Songwriter Stacy Lantz. Stacy is one of the best kept secrets in Nashville. With a voice as piercing & powerful as her predecessors, Lantz pulls influence from such greats as Patty Griffin, Eva Cassidy, & Bonnie Raitt. She covers the human experience through a lens of hope, the inevitability of change, and the occasional well-timed brush of quirkiness. She also has one of the most unique and awesome voices this podcast host has ever heard.  Find out more about her at StacyLantz.com. I also do a little improvisational Pickin' and Grinnin' on my acoustic guitar to start out today's episode.  It's a great show today folks, but don't take my word for it, listen to it right now.

This week on Voices In My Head we look at How To Read The Bible with Hebrew and Old testament Professor,  Dr. Steven L. McKenzie. Dr. McKenzie  holds a B.A. (summa cum laude) and an M.Div. from Abilene Christian University and the Th.D. from Harvard University. His research and teaching interests include: the history of ancient Israel, the literature of the Hebrew Bible, the Hebrew language, the Dead Sea Scrolls, methods of biblical interpretation, and archaeology. He is a past president of the board of governors of the Institute of Egyptian Art and Archaeology at the University of Memphis.

This week on Voices In My Head we welcome a fantastic singer, songwriter, and artist: Eric Peters. We can't recommend Eric's music enough here at the Voices In My Head Podcast. His music is challenging, honest, and courageous and aside from that, he is a really great guy. Here's some of the buzz about Eric and his music. “Peters is a standout among the overcrowded scene of singer/songwriter folk-pop.” - RELEVANT Magazine “It’s clear that Eric Peters has a love for literature and an ear for a great pop hook. Peters has the skills of a seasoned artist.” – Christianity Today We also have Rick Lee James and Brannon Hancock's duet, Advent Hymn (Watching, Waiting, Longing), Question of the Week, and a hilarious voice mail: Old Ladies Attack.
