Juke Jules SUBS 30th Mar 2020 | | CD Album[no artist listed] - Little Blessings (2017) | ReviewThe tracks are all popular hymn tunes set as instrumentals in a suitably soporific style by Steve Wingfield using keyboards for piano, xylophone and other instrumental parts, with plenty of tinkling cascades of bells.
Close on two hours in total. Very soothing for adults too.
Are they on YouTube? Yes and no, there are several Fisher Price lullaby videos, none with hymns but otherwise in exactly this style, with the same instrumentation, presumably also by Wingfield. This one is a single non-tune which repeats for two hours.

Juke Jules SUBS 7th Mar 2020 | | CD AlbumVarious Artists - John Carter (2004) | The folder insert has notes on all the tracks, couched in the style of a Shakespeare drama production. John Carter/Shakespeare produced the CD, and all the tracks are basically him singing

Juke Jules SUBS 22nd Feb 2020 | | CD AlbumKatherine Jenkins - Guiding Light (2018) | The insert showing UK tour dates must surely make this a UK release, but without the insert I feel it would be European. The catalogue number gives no clue, and the rights text on the rear says "Made in the EU. BIEM/SDRM. 4817274"

Juke Jules SUBS 22nd Feb 2020 | | CD AlbumKatherine Jenkins - Guiding Light (2018) | Desparately sincere and saccharine sweet, including the Stormzy song Blinded By Your Light

Come Thou Fount Of Every New Blessing should strictly be credited to Robert Robinson but is generally considered 'Traditional'

Juke Jules SUBS 20th Feb 2020 | | CD AlbumThe Robertson Family - Praise Him | Um, oh yes, just ignore me ;-)
|
Juke Jules SUBS 17th Feb 2020 | | CD AlbumStormzy - Gang Signs & Prayer (2017) | Powerful and at times violent hardcore Christian rap - let's hope this isn't the Last Supper for Stormzy!
Standout track is Blinded By Your Grace which has become something of a standard for religious broadcasts

The powerful guitar break on "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing" is probably by Kenny Greenberg. Many session musicians were credited on this album including Michael Omartian and Vince Gill. See Wikipedia
|
Juke Jules SUBS 16th Feb 2020 | | CD AlbumThe Robertson Family - Praise Him | I'm amused to see that the one track without composer credits on this Robinson Family album was written by the 18th century pastor and hymnodist Robert Robinson. Who knows, there might be a direct line of descent from the hymnodist.
Unfortunately there is no YT video of the hymn on this album, but it is a well-known and popular hymn in the USA

No shortage of composer credits here! Havana is the best-known track of the album but my favourite is the relatively open sound of Stay
