You guys are amazing.
Let’s take iTunes by the throat tomorrow and show them that bald, fat, dads can make good music too.
Ready?

    very excited for you, Carlos … I’m a Mom of 3, who didn’t grow up in church or singing in choirs. I didn’t go into this season of life expecting an album either, but mine released in July. God is awesome and can do impossibly more than we can ever think or imagine. I overcame fear, stepped out in faith and found my voice and my songs. So glad you did too. Looking forward to getting your album tomorrow. Bless you as you continue to use your gifts for Him. 1 Peter 4:10

    I’M SO EXCITED TO CRASH ITUNES TOMORROW!!!!!!!

  22. Emily 25 January 2010 at 8:35 pm #

    Your life and music are inspiring me. Thank you. I’m really excited for you because you’re not just singing because you think you’re awesome, but because your story (HIS story) needs to be told. I love that.

  23. Shellie (baylormum) 25 January 2010 at 8:52 pm #

    As 1 of those 7000 hits a day (usually) I am truly excited that through some little thing, let’s call it twitter, brought many of us here. For me? A little over a year ago. You make me laugh, you inspire me. You are raw, you hurt. Tonight, watching Brother Danny again, brought tears to my eyes. Again! May your many fans bring tears of joy to your eyes tomorrow. And put dinner on the table for those “ragamuffin” kids of yours. If they are still speaking to you after forgetting early release at school earlier. :)

    Heading to itunes right now

  25. Graham 25 January 2010 at 9:33 pm #

    Great EPK! I remember when you tweeted about Danny the homeless man. That is such a God moment! I just bought your EP just now and it’s playing as I type this… dude… I’m lovin it.

    I wrote a little something here about what I think of all this… http://gbrenna.com/w0Up

    hey! I’m a bald fat dad!

    Los on a serious note… I am in desperate need of song writers to help my with my lyrics! I have tons of great hooks most of my stuff is pretty fragmented. I have a few finished songs. So how do you end up connecting with songwriters?

    by the way awesome video! I am really glad to have found Ragamuffin Soul and you!

    Blessings brother!

  27. Pamela Hunter 25 January 2010 at 9:34 pm #

    soooo excited to check your ep on itunes tomorrow! When are you movin to my neck of the woods?

  28. Christopher Hopper 26 January 2010 at 2:29 am #

    We’ve all been waiting for this for a very long time. Thanks for your labor of love. May the Lord use it for his glory. Oh, and power to the tubby bald dads (TBDs). ch:

  29. S. Pihlaja 26 January 2010 at 3:20 am #

    Very well played. Glad this came out and things are going so well for you….

  30. @mattsing 26 January 2010 at 7:05 am #

    EPK is sick… What a moment you guys captured. Knocked me over.

  31. John 26 January 2010 at 8:22 am #

    Love this! Can’t wait to hear the EP.

  32. tam 26 January 2010 at 10:01 am #

    Lord, bless carlos and bless others through Your, Your love and Your grace that is pouring out through los’s obedience to serve You….

  33. Sarnaa 26 January 2010 at 12:10 pm #

    Phenomenal.

  34. ashleigh 26 January 2010 at 12:55 pm #

    Such an awesome piece on the stories behind the songs. And i love it that God ordained that moment for you and Danny during that particular song. He truly is GREAT and GOOD! enjoying the music today as well!

  35. David Cook 26 January 2010 at 1:05 pm #

    Very cool to see how what seemed to be an ‘unscripted’ encounter was a Yahweh (Ja) scripted a divine appointment to minister “to one of the least of these My brothers”. Exciting to see what God is putting together…stay humble, stay hungry (for righteousness) and be strong and courageous!

    In Him,

    PS :: That whole part about Danny broke me. ch:

  37. Ben Arment 27 January 2010 at 7:04 am #

    such a beautiful video. love the quality of the shots. wow

  38. Ant 27 January 2010 at 8:02 am #

    Beautiful. Really excited about the new things God is doing and the new expressions of worship that are emerging – you being one of them. Go large – you’ve got what it takes to make a massive impact by just being you and inspiring others to do the same. Real wth God, real with people and real with ourselves. That’s awesome. The rest will follow.
    PS: Convinced that Danny was an angel.

    So how do you look at the fact that God says in the Bible not to make any cuts on your body…
