Dr. David Arias from our homeschool listserv group recommended this bluegrass and Americana band (known as The Hillbilly Thomists) of Catholic Dominican clerics: "All proceeds from their album sales go toward the formation of the orthodox Dominican friars at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. This could even count as a form of almsgiving this Lent!" Here is the link to their website: The Hillbilly Thomists. I also love this article in First Things praising the authentic Catholicity of the albums of The Hillbilly Thomists while also paying tribute to this land of America that we call home: Bluegrass and the Bible. The band gets its name from Flannery O'Connor who called herself a "Hillbilly Thomist" owing to her Southern roots and her devotion to St. Thomas Aquinas and his Thomist philosophy. I love this band!
