JesusFreakHideout.com, one of the pioneers of Christian music media on the web, is proud to announce the release of Songs We’ve Been Trying To Tell You About (And Others We Haven’t), Volume Six, the sixth entry in the website’s popular free indie song compilation series. The 37-song compilation releases less than a week after the Jesus freak Hideout celebrated 21 years online.
“This is one of my favorite things that we do,” says longtime JFH staff member Scott Fryberger about the compilation. “It’s so great to introduce people to new music, especially artists that aren’t major players in mainstream music. If you never venture away from major labels, you’re going to miss some truly amazing music, and we just can’t let you live your life that way. We’ve gotten many comments about how we’ve caused financial hardship on people because they heard a bunch of artists on our samplers and bought their music, and it fills me with joy each time. With 37 tracks to choose from, I’m hoping Volume Six continues that trend!”

Like JFH’s fifth Songs We’ve Been Trying To Tell You About compilation release in 2015, Volume Six features original cover artwork drawn by JFH founder and Editor-in-Chief, John DiBiase. Prints of the original artwork are available for purchase in DiBiase’s online Etsy art shop to help support JFH.
“We have a lot of fun with these compilations,” adds DiBiase. “Anyone who knows me, knows my favorite film is the original Ghostbusters, and I couldn’t resist representing a key scene – which has spiritual relevance, actually — on this compilation’s cover.” To view the scene in question on YouTube, click here.
“There’s a lot of music out there these days — it can be overwhelming, actually,” continues DiBiase. “But we know there’s a lot of great Christian music that extends beyond what’s being played on the radio. And we hope that we can play a part – even if it’s just a small one – in helping people find good, quality music to inspire, entertain and edify.”
Like each compilation before it, Songs We’ve Been Trying To Tell You About, Volume Six is comprised of artists that the JFH staff personally invited to be a part of the project. Check out the full artist list below.
