Award-winning gospel superstar and producer Fred Hammond releases his much-anticipated new album Worship Journal Live September 30th on RCA Inspiration. Recorded live from Houston, the 12 track album delivers an exquisite blend of all-new songs handpicked from Hammond’s soul. Worship Journal Live is available everywhere music is sold.
The latest release is Hammond’s first live recording in 17 years and features the popular single “Father Jesus Spirit.” Filled with the dynamic ministry and acclaimed live musicianship that has made him one of gospel’s most popular and influential artists over the past 30 years, Worship Journal Live follows on Hammond’s most recent chart-topping release I Will Trust (2014).
“This album is very autobiographical but I think my listeners will find a lot of the themes to be universal,” said Fred Hammond. “We all struggle. We all worry. We all question our paths. We all need inspiration. Belief in our Lord and Savior and his ability to deliver us through all of that – that’s what I wish for my listeners to always carry with them.”
Maintaining a busy schedule throughout the rest of 2016, Hammond will bring his stellar live concert performances to fans across the country, with a national tour kicking off in conjunction with his new album’s release. Helming the Festival of Praise 2016 Tour, the star-studded annual tour he founded, Hammond kicked off the third consecutive year of the Festival of Praise Tour on October 1st in Seattle, WA, welcoming a revolving all-star artist lineup that includes Hezekiah Walker, Israel Hough-ton, Regina Belle, Karen Clark Sheard, Casey J, and comedian Earthquake. Running through December, Hammond plans to take the Festival of Praise 2016 Tour to over 50 cities, hitting Los Angeles, Denver, Atlanta, New York, Washington DC, Pittsburgh, Austin, his native Detroit and is scheduled to be in the Chicago October 22nd. Worship Journal Live is available wherever music is sold.
