Louder Than The Music

Gospel worship leader Israel Houghton together with New Breed have released their new live CD/DVD 'Jesus At The Center'. The album has gone straight to the number 1 spot on the US iTunes Christian albums chart, and has reached number 24 on the main albums chart.

Recorded live in high definition over four days in front of more than 29,000 worshippers at Houston's Lakewood Church, the album includes 17 live songs with three additional studio singles.

Israel appeared on ABC television show 'The View' last month along with friends Kirk Franklin, Donnie McClurkin and Marvin Sapp, performing a medley of their best-known songs. The appearance was in support of the national The King's Men Tour featuring the four award winning performers which begins on 16th September.

Discussing new album 'Jesus At The Center' on the show with co-host Sherri Shepherd, Israel said, "One of the songs we did was an old Bob Dylan song, 'To Make You Feel My Love'. My daughter sang it with this purity - she's 15-years-old, almost 16 - and it was amazing to look out and see 16,000 people all crying."

Israel's latest studio album 'Love God Love People' won a Grammy Award in 2011, bringing the singer's Grammy tally to four. The worship leader also recently released his 'Decade' best-of album.
