Hi Rich Fans,
There is quite a bit of new info about the new music from Rich in the 3/9/98 edition of CCM Update Online.
Along with further confirmation of the cleaned up "demo tape" being included, some of the info you'll find more details on in the CCM Update News for 3/9/98, titled "Rich Mullins' 'Final Work' to Bow in June" by Lindy Warren at http://www.ccmcom.com/ccmupdate/98_03_09/news.html...
- Recording (previously known as Ten Songs For Jesus) will be called The Jesus Record
- Will be accompanied by a video documentary, music video and tour
- Release date is set for 6/30/98
- Rich's voice has been taken from the "demo" and included on one of the songs, and is joined by all the guest vocalists, Ashley Cleveland, Michael W. Smith, and Amy Grant.
Also I got word from RichMailList subscriber, Jason English, who informs me he received email from Rick Elias, producer of The Jesus Record. Rick confirmed that his "Man of No Reputation" (one of Rich's favorite songs by Rick) will be included on The Jesus Record.
Also (as mentioned in the above CCM Update news article), Jim has created a new non-profit foundation to carry on Rich's interests and work with Native Americans. This foundation will not be a replacement for the Compassion connection, but a compliment to it.
