Rich Mullins

Richard Wayne Mullins (October 21, 1955 – September 19, 1997) was an American singer/songwriter born in Richmond, Indiana. He was a well-known Christian music artist until his untimely death in an automobile accident in 1997. He is best known for his praise choruses "Awesome God" and "Sometimes by Step", which have been embraced as modern classics by many Christians. Three of his albums are considered among Christian music's best: Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth (1988), The World As Best As I Remember It, Volume One (1991) and A Liturgy, A Legacy, & A Ragamuffin Band (1993). His songs have been covered by the likes of John Tesh, Rebecca St. James, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Third Day, Caedmon's Call, and Jars of Clay, but his influence on his colleagues in the music business reaches further. Image File history File linksMetadata Rich_Mullins. ...

In addition to his music, Rich Mullins is remembered for his sincere devotion to the Christian faith. He often called St Francis of Assisi (1181-1226) his hero and modeled his life after him by showing great compassion towards the poor and adhering to a vow of poverty.

Mullins was seen as an enigma to the Christian music industry. Often barefoot, unshaven, and badly in need of a haircut, Mullins did not look like the average American gospel music writer.

Unlike most artists in Contemporary Christian music, Mullins did not consider his music his primary ministry, but rather a means to pay his bills. Instead, his ministry was the way he treated his neighbors, family and enemies. Taking a vow of poverty, he accepted a small church salary and spent the last years of his life on a Navajo reservation teaching music to children.

By 1986, Mullins recorded his first, self-titled, solo project, and followed it with a second solo album in 1987 called Pictures in the Sky. Neither album had sold very well. It looked as though Pictures might be his last, until Mullins wrote a song called "Awesome God". Mullins recorded that song and released it on his third album, Winds of Heaven...

In the early 1990s, Mullins released a pair of albums entitled The World As Best As I Remember It, volumes One & Two. These albums featured more of a stripped-back, acoustic feel than his earlier work, with nods to Irish music. Sometimes By Step, a song written by good friend Beaker and included on both volumes, became an instant hit on Christian Radio, and, like "Awesome God", with worship leaders.

Mullins was never really aware of how well his records sold, because the profits from his tours and the sale of each album went to his church, which divided it up, paid Mullins a small salary, and gave the rest to charity.

Legacy

Shortly before his death, Mullins had made a rough tape of songs for what would have been his next album on Myrrh Records; he was going to call the album "Ten Songs About Jesus." This rough micro cassette recording became the basis for The Jesus Record, which A Ragamuffin Band recorded after Mullins' death.
