In 2013 Rick released his first Live album of original songs called, Basement Psalms Live. In 2014 Rick released a book to accompany the album called, Out of the Depths: A Songwriter’s Journey Through the Psalms. The book has since been used as a textbook by National Praise and Worship Institute’s Psalms survey course at Trevecca Nazarene University.

All songs on the record are being published through Lifeway Worship and are written, co-written, or arranged by Rick. The album has garnered critical praise and has been featured in CCM Magazine and Worship Leader Magazine and has recieved national radio play from syndicated shows like Under The Radar and Things Not Seen. Find more at www.RickLeeJames.com “Crafted directly from inspiration found in hymnals and prayer books, songwriter and worship leader Rick Lee James offers Hymns, Prayers and Invitations. It is with the intentionality behind the last word of the album title, Invitations, that makes this project a stand out. More than a collection of hymny interpretations or simple song book upgrades, James’ purposeful use of lyric, timbre, and track synchronism should lead the listener into moments of powerful communication and worship with the Lord. Hymns, Prayers and Invitations drip with soundtracks of Sunday morning sanctuaries to intimately personal prayer closet concerts.” -CCM Magazine

Dove Award-nominated recording artist, songwriter and award-winning author Andrew Peterson returns to Voices In My Head (The Official Podcast of Rick Lee James). Andrew recently announced the long-awaited album Resurrection Letters, Vol. I, which will release March 30 and which was preceded by Feb. 9th launch of Resurrection Letters: Prologue. Both recordings will release globally from Centricity Music, and Prologue will became available on Friday, Feb. 9 from digital retailers everywhere and through https://AndrewPeterson.lnk.to/Prologue. Releasing in time for Easter, Resurrection Letters, Vol. I features songs like “Is He Worthy,” “I’ve seen Too Much” and “His Heart Beats,” the latter track being heard on Peterson’s Behold the Lamb of God tour last year. The song is about that glorious moment in the tomb when Jesus, who was dead, came back to life. “My dream for Resurrection Letters, Vol. I is that it would be the kind of record people turned up to eleven on Easter Sunday, when Christians all over the world celebrate something that happened—it really happened—two millennia ago,” says Peterson. Also, We are in the final hours of our crowdfunding campaign to make a new album through Indiegogo. It’s not too late to help us make “Thunder” a reality. Thunder will feature original music by Rick Lee James, re-imagined Hymns, and lost music from Rich Mullins. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/thunder-a-new-album-by-rick-lee-james-music#/

That's the message of Edison Churches, which shares the stories of ten faith communities that embraced innovation, learned from their experiences, and forever impacted both their congregations and their communities in the process. God is inviting us to participate in doing a new thing; Edison churches are leading the way. Also...I would be so honored to have you on this journey of making a new album.
