Awhile back I received a couple of Christine Evans CD’s to listen to and review on this site. Regretfully, it’s taken far too long for me to get my thoughts down in pixels so everyone could see them. She’s an up-and-coming Canadian artist/songwriter just coming off a Canadian tour. One of the things I want to do as I begin to review more and more albums is to give people an idea of the secular artists I think their style and tone mirrors to some degree. For Christine Evans, she reminds me Avril Lavigne, I’m not sure if this is intentional or not, but sheRead More →

Rebecca St. James and Brian Littrell will be performing together on a Christmas tour. Interestingly enough too, Rebecca St. James also has her own YouTube channel. It’s getting easier and easier for musicians to market themselves with free tools like YouTube and MySpace.

Even though we’ve still got a little over a month left in the year, Christianity Today has released their list of the Bets Albums of 2006. Our annual selections for Best Christian Albums in small part serves as a snapshot of the state of the industry, and what’s particularly interesting about this year’s list is how many of the finalists seem “outside the box.” Many of the artists have a foot in both Christian and mainstream markets without finding runaway success in either, and some of them are established artists who today continue to record and distribute music independently. It all reflects our commitment toRead More →
