Available Now: The Early Years | Remastered B-Sides & Demos Vol. 1
Newly Remastered Recordings of My Demos and B-Sides from 1999-2004
Available Now Wherever You Get Music
I’m really grateful to my friend, Brandon Shattuck, who recently remastered a bunch of old recordings from the About A Boy project and my Debut (Josh Bales) project.
If you’re new to my music (in the past ten years), these twenty or so songs will be new to you! They are no-frills demos- limited production up-close recording quality and, now, remastered for balance and up-to-date levels that fit with streaming services.
This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. It addresses one of the most frequent emails I get from you: “Josh, where can I listen to your first two albums? Are they available online?” So, I’m really excited to get these songs back up and available to you.
They will be released in January 2024 and February 2024 as TWO volumes with about ten songs each. Vol. 1 is a collection of pop oriented songs and Vol. 2 is a collection of Christian/Gospel material.
Volume 1 is set to release on my birthday, January 29th, with a preorder date of January 12th on iTunes. These will be available where ever you get your music these days.

C.S. Lewis Retreat Sing-Along
Come Away From Rush and Hurry
Text: Marva Dawn; Music: Nettleton
Come away from rush and hurry
to the stillness of God's peace;
From our vain ambition's worry,
come to Christ to find release.
Come away from noise and clamor,
life's demands and frenzied pace;
Come to join the people gathered
here to seek and find God's face.
In the pastures of God's goodness
we lie down to rest our soul.
From the waters of God's mercy
we drink deeply, are made whole.
At the table of God's presence
all the saints are richly fed.
With the oil of God's anointing
into service we are led.
Come, then, children, with your burdens
life's confusions, fears and pain.
Leave them at the cross of Jesus;
take instead his kingdom's reign.
Bring your thirsts, for he will quench them
he alone will satisfy.
All our longings find attainment
when to self we gladly die.
We Remember You (Anamnesis)
Words and Music: Josh Bales and Greg Piken
