The Cross and the Jukebox

I'm always interested when I see someone talking about common grace in music.  I get even more interested when someone is talking about good country music.  Rusell Moore recently started a weekly podcast entitled The Cross and the Jukebox.  He talks about the intersections of religion and country music.  So far it has been very interesting.  He references many times the "Jesus haunted South": the idea that everyone in the southern US has some idea of Jesus and Christianity in the recesses of their past.  If you've got an extra half hour each week, I'd recommend giving it a try.  Here are the songs that he's talked about so far.

I Saw the Light--Hank Williams, Sr.


Ring of Fire--Johnny Cash


Me and Jesus--Tom T. Hal
