Story Behind Katie Linendoll's New Song "Jericho Battle Cry"

Emmy Award-Winning TV personality Katie Linendoll has released her brand new EP Jericho Battle Cry. Linendoll has been the host of multiple TV shows from Rachael Ray to The Weather Channel to CBS Sports Radio. However, she has felt God's call to return to her Christian roots in recording a Christian-themed album.

The highlight of the new EP is Linendoll  debut single, "Jericho Battle Cry." Profits from this song support Bugles Across America---a non-profit organization that has created a network of musician volunteers who provide Buglers to sound "Taps" live for Veteran funerals at no cost.

Linendoll shares how the song came about. "This song is naturally based on the Biblical Battle of Jericho when the Israelites were trying to take command of the fortified city of Jericho from the Canaanites. The Israelites marched around the city once a day for six days. On the seventh day, God commanded them to march around the city seven times and then to sound their ram's horns. With infallible courage they blew their horns and sounded up in a battle cry! And as God never fails, the walls of Jericho crashed down. 

As I also come from a proud military family, this song contains equal parts Americana, vigor, and scripture ("Be clothed in the armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the treachery of the devil." Ephesians 6:11 CPDV) 

A common thread seen in both my personal and professional life, which I can assure you will also be a part of my musical career, is that I work hard and take no shortcuts. So much effort and time has been poured into this project and I've humbly had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the best pros in the industry who have helped bring my lyrics and ideas to life. 

So, whether you're alone in your room, driving in your car, working out, or traveling anywhere in the world-I hope and pray that you turn this songs up and feel inspired. I can't thank you enough for reading along and being a part of my journey."
