Sons of Korah
Although the contributors to this site have a variety of opinions on relatively minor matters, it is, as the name suggests, openly and unashamedly Reformed in its essential theology and viewpoints. And really, what is a more historically Reformed practice than psalm-singing? Simply speaking, the psalms were meant to be sung. There are few things more helpful in the daily battle for sanctification than to have the psalms always running through one's heart; and putting them to music is a tremendously valuable way to assist in that endeavor. Therefore, I'm always on the lookout for resources to aid in congregational or personal singing of the psalms. One group I came across some time ago, which has been a huge blessing to me, is the Sons of Korah. They put a modern, non-metrical translation of the psalms to music. Their songs are exclusively psalms, quite often psalms in their entirety, set to emotional, affective music which reflects the content of the individual psalms very appropriately. They already have five full albums available, with a sixth coming out anytime now. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Their website is sonsofkorah.com. Here's a youtube sample for you to check out:

Jason Coghill is also an artist that does psalms as well and he was also associated with Sons of Korah.

That picture sure looks like the Southern Alps here in New Zealand.

As a relative new comer to the Reformed Pres Church in Northern Ireland I'm very pleased to read your opinion of the Sons of Korah before buying an album.
Thanks.
