Both are really top notch and are diversifying the more modern rock/alternative/pop rock Jewish Music scene. <br /><br />I'm currently obsessed with Eden's EP "Knock at the Door" which is playing non-stop in my car (I wish there were more than 6 songs on it), and Except Saturday has an incredible vocalist and many great Shabbos-related songs. Both are very worthwhile purchases in my opinion.Shades of Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733139852424935591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7081163247094703505.post-45215715386256198862011-12-04T11:58:27.272-05:002011-12-04T11:58:27.272-05:00Yeah I haven't met too many other people who h...Yeah I haven't met too many other people who have heard of Shirei HaLevi'im either. And I am not sure why, since it is so good! But then again I don't know too many people who are obsessed with Jewish music. That's awesome that Rabbi Epstein emailed you. Tell him to put out more CDs! :)<br /><br />I have heard of some of the ones you mentioned (Judablue (which I really like) and The groggers (I'm not as much of a fan)) but I am always on the lookout for new Jewish music to listen to. It seems like we have similar taste so I will have to check out some of the ones you mention that I haven't heard of (Eden and Except Saturday).SternGradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04629199158696400120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7081163247094703505.post-87999576395476800902011-12-04T09:40:03.459-05:002011-12-04T09:40:03.459-05:00I'm glad there are other Shirei HaLevi'im ...I'm glad there are other Shirei HaLevi'im fans out there! It didn't seem like many people knew about it and I didn't hear anyone talk about it like they have for other CDs. <br /><br />Incidentally, Rabbi Epstein emailed me after reading this post!<br /><br />I'm glad you're enjoying JMFs. I hope to continue the feature as long as I can. I have a handful of other albums/groups I want to feature, though I would like more unique/non-mainstream Jewish Music to be out there for fans to enjoy. There are so many ways to connect to music in a spiritual and meaningful fashion, and my goal is to give more exposure to groups that can inspire in ways that the typical big-name releases often cannot.<br /><br />And thanks for commenting :)Shades of Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02733139852424935591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7081163247094703505.post-60554451610198765272011-12-03T22:38:46.687-05:002011-12-03T22:38:46.687-05:00I love shirei Halevi'im! It is one of my favor...I love shirei Halevi'im! It is one of my favorite CDs- really beautiful music, and like you said- I also didn't get sick of this album and can listen to it over and over. I didn't know all of the background information about it. Thanks for writing about it.<br />I just wanted to add that I am also really enjoying the Jewish Music Fridays series, so keep them coming!SternGradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04629199158696400120noreply@blogger.com
