McDONOUGH – Chenango County musician Tom Rasely has released his latest album this week, but not in the way that most people are used to. “Shifting Sands,” a new collection of 18 original contemporary Christian songs, has been released in a downloads-only format on musicdock.net.

 The songs included in this album were all written between 1979 and 1994. Some of them, according to Rasely, “have never seen the light of day. Some of these songs I never even sang for my wife. They were just written and tucked away in a file folder.”
