HOLY

GHOST

POWER

Released in July of 2022, Holy Ghost Power is The Hillbilly Thomists’ third studio album. With this record, the HT's keep one foot rooted in the Blueridge foothills of Bluegrass and Americana while stepping across the Mississippi into the land of New Orleans delta blues and old Western country. The thirteen tracks of Holy Ghost Power sing of redeeming love and old-time religion, Diet Coke and Original Sin, pilgrimage and the sweet prospect of the life that awaits beyond the River Jordan’s stormy banks. They’re songs for people who are made of a little bit of angel and a little bit of dust.

LIVING

FOR THE OTHER SIDE

Released in 2021 on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas, Living for the Other Side is The Hillbilly Thomists’ second studio recording. Recorded at the Alberthaus in the Catskills, and predominantly featuring original songs, the album is a resonant and at times rollicking meditation on grace, suffering, faith, conversion, and the soul’s dogged desire for what really matters.

THE HILLBILLY THOMISTS

Released in December of 2017, The Hillbilly Thomists is the friars’ eponymous, debut album, which enjoyed over two months on Billboard’s bluegrass top-ten chart, peaking at #3. The track Poor Wayfaring Stranger still remains the HT’s most popular song on Spotify.
