Happy Day

Here I had the great opportunity to lead this great retooled hymn (thanks Tim Hughes!) with Audrey Assad. Needless to say I had a blast…and yes it looks like I’m singing Audrey’s part in the beginning…

You Won’t Relent

An incredible JesusCulture song taken from the following scripture:

Song of Solomon 8:6-8

⁶ Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy ^[a] unyielding as the grave. ^[b]
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame. ^[c]

⁷ Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.

I had the privilege of leading this song with Audrey Assad.

All I Need is You-Live

All I Need is You-Live from Ryan Axtell on Vimeo.

This is a tweaked version Jason Williams and I created of this incredible Hillsong tune…with an Album Leaf inspired drumbeat. To simulate a Rhodes type sound I have my tele on the center pickup selection running through a Jeckyl and Hyde Overdrive with the Cry Baby Wah cocked all the way down. I switch to the bridge pickup for the lead line at the end.
