His shoes wore out? ;)

P.S. I'm ripping the music from Fly Jefferson Airplane for back-up, as I type. Just <cough> FYI.

Maybe you can help me out. Occasionally I pick up a style of old music on Christian radio while driving over the road, with a backbeat similar to or heavier than the chorus of "Flowers on the Wall" by the Statler Bros. Is there a name for it, and/or have any recs?

No clue here, Pete.

Man, do you know all these bands or are you cheating? If the former, very impressive. If the latter, welcome to the club.

I don't know the rest of this list but these 2 are pretty much what I'm trying to get away from. I'm looking for something different. Reggae, ska, punk, big hair "metal", polka, whatever. But stuff that doesn't sound like everything else they play on CCM radio.

Pete: the showtunes on kazoo collection is alarmingly small. Any suggestions?

I know this thread is kinda dead but... here's what I have to add...


Ten Shekel Shirt
Jason Gray
Sweet Deliverance
Mark Schultz

The first 3 are more "under the radar" and Mark Schultz is more mainstream but still good.
 
That guy J.S. Bach was pretty good (I think he's been mentioned once). Wrote some pretty good tunes, and he was a German Lutheran to boot. Bill Handel did that "Joy to the World" thing way before Hoyt Axton. As erstwhile Christian-mystic-pseudo-rocker Bruce Cockburn observed of Billy H: "he sure knew how to pack a tune with hooks".

Speaking of which...

Every one of you should go out and buy a copy of Cockburn's album Christmas right now if you dont' have it.
 
Ray W.,

Don't know if you're still looking around for good Christian music to listen to, but if you are, I recommend this album from the first wave of the Jesus rock movement:

Wilson McKinley -Spirit Of Elijah, 1971

Wilson McKinley are a band, not an individual, who were from Spokane, WA. Great circa late 60s early 70s San Francisco ballroom vibe. Sad fact is that I don't think this outstanding album has been reissued on CD, but a 2-CD comp issued by the remaining band memebrs includes all but a couple of tracks from Spirit of Elijah.
 
Give us an update, Ray!

What have you found so far? I think I get what your throwing down, so give us your impressions. Did you find Barren Cross? Have you checked out Brother Cain, Alterbridge, or Daughtry yet?

I'm really glad this thread is here, thanks to deeder for resurrecting it (no pun intended...ok, maybe a little).

To whomever asked about the Statler Bros. style music, it's Southern Gospel. Most of it was poorly recorded low-budget stuff, but there have been some great groups, with wonderful harmonies. From the 60's and 70's the premier groups were the Statesmen and Blackwood Brothers. From the 70's to the 90's the premier group was the Cathedral Quartet. From them came Legacy 5, probably the biggest group currently. With Southern Gospel, you get anything from campy tent-meeting stuff to lush, smooth jazz and swing based groups.
