You may not immediately recognize the name “Kevin Max”, but you’ve probably heard of the group he started in, dcTalk. I was browsing around the ChristianMusicDaily website and saw this album posted for Kevin Max. The description alone heightens my desire to go grab this at my local Christian bookstore. “The Blood is not a classic hymns cover project or a white/homogenized version of black Gospel or soul music. It’s a sensitive and stylized adaptation of the music that was at the root of rock and roll, blues and popular culture.” Says Kevin Max, “The Blood is about the story of redemption and grace, foundRead More →

One of the albums I’ve been listening to for a number of weeks now is Jeff Johnson’s “Glorious Day” album. This is Jeff’s 3rd album. He first released “Shaken” in 2003 and “Enter In” in 2005. If you’re an American Idol fan, you may recognize Jeff’s face and name. If I’ve got my timing right, he was a contestant during Season 4, with Carrie Underwood being the final winner. This article on Crosswalk.com talks a little about Jeff’s experience on the show and I love his response to the situation: One of the celebrity judges, Gene Simmons from the secular rock group Kiss, subsequently suggestedRead More →
