Latest Release

You Belong, released July 14, 2023, is the third full-length installment of Wendell’s project to reimagine the Psalms as modern folk music. You Belong highlights Psalms of celebration and deliverance. Kimbrough worked with producer Isaac Wardell of the Porter’s Gate Worship Project (to which Kimbrough is a frequent contributor) to assemble a top-shelf studio band. Intentionally limiting their time, the band gathered for only one full day of recording in a studio outside of Nashville. The fast and loose pace helped capture a playful spontaneity that defines the album: You Belong is bursting with life, like a Southern gospel, folk/country hoedown, something akin to the music Kimbrough absorbed growing up in rural Alabama and Mississippi.

What makes Wendell fairly unique are three things: his use of scriptural texts for his lyrics; his tunes which are extremely useful for congregational singing; and his approach in concert, which involves teaching God’s people the music to sing. Our people were thrilled to sing these songs, not just on the night of the concert, but subsequent in our gathered worship services.
