The Hillbilly Thomists - Living for the Other Side (CD)

$15.95

The Hillbilly Thomists are a band of friars of the Order of Preachers. After playing music together for several years, they released their debut album in 2017, which reached #3 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart and mostly consisted in bluegrass standards and Americana favorites. Since then, the friars in the band have been doing what Dominican friars do: contemplating, studying, and preaching. They’ve also been writing songs. The fruit of all this is their new album, Living for the Other Side, released on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas (the original Thomist). Recorded at the Alberthaus in the Catskills, and predominantly featuring original songs, the new album is a resonant and at times rollicking meditation on grace, suffering, faith, conversion, and the soul’s dogged desire for what really matters. Booklet comes with CD packaging.

    An amazing group of musicians from a totally unlikely place. Using their God-given talents and abilities to play bluegrass music. My favorite selection is "Jericho Blues."

  3. Another Wonderful Album 5 Star Review

    I already loved the Hillbilly Thomists' first album. One day, I saw they had put out a second one with more original songs. I wanted to shout for joy upon a mountaintop and scream, "THIS IS NOT A DRILL." Not only are these good Catholic friars who want to point us to heaven and therefore deserve our support, their music is also just plain good! You'll dance, sing, and pray your way through this album and immediately want to start it over again!
