Songs About Believers

I hadn’t planned on a follow-up post to yesterday’s Songs About Heathens – it just sort of came about naturally. For what it’s worth, I found twice as many good “Believer” songs as “Heathen” ones. And one group here had two hit songs with that word in their titles. Go figure! Enjoy!  ~  JH

“Underdog” Songs

This one goes out to all the underdogs out there. While there are a handful of "household names" among these artists, there are also quite a few gems by lesser-known artists (appropriate for an "Underdog" theme, eh?). Nevertheless, I believe you will...enjoy!  ~  JH
