America's Choice Worship Albums
“America's Choice 30,” (including both stereo and split-trax), and “America's Choice Kids Worship” Volumes 1 and 2 contain songs chosen from a list compiled by CCLI (Christian Copyright Licensing International) of America's favorite worship songs being sung in over 150,000 churches each week, and a survey done by Cool Springs Records of 100 top church worship leaders. The “America's Choice 30” vocals were sung by actual worship leaders – and reflect their various interpretations of the way they sing these songs in their own churches! This gave life to the idea to use the promotional by-line, “Sunday Worship. Any Time. Any place.” The goal is to help believers recreate the Sunday worship experience on a daily basis.
“America's Choice Kids” Volume 1 and Volume 2 These two 15-song albums, contain the same titles as “America's Choice 30” but were adapted and sung by kids for kids! The keys and tracks were modified to be comfortable for kids and are presented in both stereo and a flexible split-track format.
America's Choice Instrumental Worship Albums
“America's Choice - Power Praise,” and “America's Choice - Gentle Worship” These two 15 song albums were recorded and mixed specifically to become the soundtrack for the varied moments of the believer's day – whether high energy praise is needed for an uptempo day, or gentle worship for quiet and restful meditation.

The artists, including Linda McKechnie, piano, Bruce and Lisa Wethey, violin and flute, Dave Cleveland, guitar, Chiz Rider, trumpet, JuJu Song, jazz piano, Rob Maletick, saxophone, Tim Zimmerman and The King's Brass, and Sam Saltar, trombone, are all dedicated, world-class musicians who have a heart for ministry in churches and do concerts regularly.

Caring Music
Caring Music presents albums designed to provide comfort and encouragement to the listener. Beloved hymns of the faith are used in soft arrangements featuring both voices and instrumentalists. Inspiring Scriptures on trusting God, faith, prayer, strength, and God's promises of peace are included in the CD booklet for additional blessing.
“Hymns for Hope and Comfort” is a CD with over an hour of the world's greatest inspirational hymns with singers and orchestra. Soft and restful, this music surrounds the listener with peaceful melodies and the reassurance of God's love. There are two albums worth of music on one CD. Nineteen hymns are presented once with singers, soloists and orchestra, and then again with orchestra only, featuring the rare Stradivarius violin, piano, acoustic guitar, and other instruments playing melody.
Cool Springs Trax and Custom Recordings:
To meet the anticipated needs of church worship groups, choirs, youth choirs, kids choirs, praise teams, and both vocal and instrumental soloists for custom recordings of top worship songs, Cool Springs Trax are being marketed individually and in 30-song sets. These recordings will be used for fundraising, as outreach tools, and for improvement and familiarity in congregational worship singing. The sound tracks are available for custom recordings in both traditional stereo format and, for the first time ever, in Pro Tools, professional multitrack digital software. This new format for soundtracks allows for custom recordings to be made of selected Cool Springs masters with the easily usable and available Pro Tools system. Many churches now own the entry level Pro Tools LE version and are already doing their own multitrack recording. All of the instrumental and vocal groups are stored in stereo audio files, requiring no plugins, with the original automation of the album mix included. The purchaser has the ability to customize their recording and mix to their own tastes. By an association with Phil Barfoot's Christian Copyright Alliance of Franklin, TN., Cool Springs Records custom recordings can be professionally recorded in churches or studios anywhere with the beautiful finished albums delivered in just two to three weeks! |
