Christian Music Playlist

As for J.S. Bach, STAY AWAY from any live concerts, unless you have a couple thousand $$ to spare. Listen to that stuff live and you'll come back, hate your speakers, and long for better ones.

Actually, when I listen to the Bach / Biggs it reminds me of the pipe organs that I listened to in several different churches. My speakers seem to handle the music pretty well. The SACD is multi-channel and when played back on my multi-channel system it really places me in the cathedral of Freiburg. I am using AR3’s for the low frequencies. :thmbsp:
 
Nobody mentions Seatrain? That is rather surprising when even KSAN gave Song Of Job airplay back in the day.

Had to fix that for you. :yes:

I start building my own speakers and I'm in it really deep. Which will probably happen. I've already done the "gateway drugs" of modifying speakers with replacement tweeters.

As for the Bach concerts I've attended, they do feature organ music, but also a small orchestra and vocalists. The latter two are really tough to get right, IMO. Part of it may be that the recordings were done in different acoustic environments than the concerts, though.

Come to the dark side. We have cookies.

I haven't been to a Bach concert in a while. We don't have much culture down here in the hinterlands. The nearest concert hall is Evansville, IN and last I checked they were doing "Too Hot to Handel" which might be a good show. I'll have to check up.

I've been a long time fan of the Lost Dogs. From their web site:

"The Lost Dogs began as an exciting collaboration between four brilliant frontmen/songwriters, creating music that transcended the musical boundaries of their respective bands. Terry Taylor (DA, the Swirling Eddies), Gene Eugene (Adam Again), Derri Daugherty (The Choir), and Michael Roe (The 77s, MichaelRoe.com) over the past ten years have released five eclectic albums of traditional American music (country, folk, blues, rock) with a decidedly modern feel. Over the course of time, the Lost Dogs have built a loyal and growing base of alt-country and roots fans including genre artists such as Buddy and Julie Miller, the Kentucky Headhunters, and Phil Madeira."

Gene Eugene passed away and has been replaced by Steve Hindalong.

These guys are easy to like. A nice nice mix of country/rock/even Beach Boys sound! A great sense of humor also.
 
In my area is a Low Power FM Christian Rock station, and I have to admit, 90% of the stuff I hear is really decent music. Too bad I have no idea what any of the artists or titles are, as there are no DJs whatsoever.
Other than that little goldmine, I've heard a few tunes by Jennifer Knapp that made me quite happy.

RadioU.com in Columbus is prolly one of the best rock stations playing christian stuff.

Speaking of great Xn music... Jace's avatar is of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis laying down a bunch of Gospel tracks at Sun Records.

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.

That would be me :). Thanks!

No one's mentioned the Rez Band for hard rock?

I would add some/any Keith Green to the playlist,The Bill Cantos Project adds some smooth jazzy sounds to some christian classics.Definately any Caedmon's Call!I seem to remember a guy called Lloyd Thogmartin had some reggae sounding stuff.Hmmm...


Blessings all.
 
Personally, I like the older Xttian music, such as, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Mahalia Jackson kind of stuff.
 
Some great ones you guys have left out:

Gram Parsons
Louvin Brothers
Ben Harper
John Coltrane

Guess I prefer great music by musicians who just happen to be christians than mediocre music with christian themes.

Oh, and most blues musicians are really circuit preachers in disguise.

Maybe.
If yr Xtian but yr music obscures yr 'saltiness', it may be a 'clanging of gongs'....

Ben Harper's greatness must be in the ear of the listener.

BACH: VOL. VI
J.S. Bach
Albert Schweitzer, organ
at the Parish Church, Gunsbach, Alsace

Columbia Masterworks


Referencing the chorale motet Vater unser im Himmelreich:

"This composition is governed by Bach's rhythm of blessedness. In these sounds one cannot discern any lament over the fact that all men walk towards death. Bach describes joyful hope for the noble existence that the faithful will have after death."​

-- Albert Schweitzer
