Pslam 100

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

This blog will attempt to reach both those who have experienced Christian bands and artists and those who have not had the opportunity. I want to bring people the full spectrum of music from artists you may or may not of heard of. Even if you listen to some of the popular Christian music stations (like 95.9 The Fish in So. Cal) - you may find some music here that will surprise you (in a good way) and I will of course include the more popular offerings as well.

Can't shut up

Anthem Lights, formerly known as Yellow Cavalier, is an American Christian group originating from Nashville, Tennessee. Okay, so they're the closet thing Christian music has to a "boy band" - but please don't let that comparison stop you from listening to their song "Can't shut up." It's actually quite good.

With these recordings, we hope to make music that is modern and fresh while lyrically remaining faithful to Scripture."

Here is "As we call out to you:"

Love takes time

If I could sing like anyone, I would want to be able sing like Bryan Duncan. His voice is absolutely amazing and to truly appreciate his talent, you have to see him in a live concert. My wife Cheryl and I have been blessed to do that a few times and we've never been disappointed.

Here he is along with Crystal Lewis and Anointed from the "Big Voice Tour" a few years back singing one of my all-time favorites "Love takes time." The tour was appropriately named, of course.



Here he is again with the studio version of the same song; it's one of those songs that I can just listen to over and over again:
