Red Mountain Music has, and is putting out some pretty awesome church music: some original stuff and a lot of really good re-workings of hymns. It's all very, very good - I can't stress this enough. Follow the first link above to Red Mountain's Bandcamp page, where you can stream a bunch of their songs. Here's the link to their music in iTunes.
Their Christmas album is especially good, if you want some new stuff for the Advent season that's a'comin upon us right fast.
And finally, here's a neat little post analyzing one of their arrangements of a classic hymn. Make sure you read this, and listen to the track. It's such a simple recording, but it's so good.
The thing a really appreciate about these folks, is not just their amazing creativity and the quality of their music (vocals, arrangements, instrumentation, etc), but I really appreciate that just about everything they do would work well in a congregational-sing setting. This is really good, honest, rootsy church music.
