Christian Music Fan

Greetings everyone! If you’re a regular reader first let me say “THANK YOU”, you’ve been great and I’ve absolutely loved hearing your comments and encouragement. Secondly, it’s with a sad and frustrated heart that I have to say this will be my last post on Christian Music Fan.

b5media has decided to do a little bit of a down-sizing and eliminate some of the smaller niche blogs in the network. Regretfully, Christian Music Fan is one of the blogs that’s being unplugged.

I was really picking up more and more momentum lately though with contacts in the industry and more and more albums that were coming through for reviews and give-a-ways. It’s for this reason that I’m not going to let my writing about Christian music fall dark and silent.

I’m still having discussions through a variety of options on where I’ll be taking my writing and landing with my future posts. If you’re not already, stay tuned to my personal blog, subscribe to my RSS feed, follow me on twitter, add me as a friend on Facebook or MySpace. I’ll sure to be announcing my new Christian music writing destination on those locations soon.

One of the albums I’ve been listening to lately and for the last few weeks has been the debut release from Chris Clayton titled “All These Things and More".
Chris Clayton has a true desire and passion for people to live their lives each moment in wonder of the One who gives real life. "My prayer is that people will be reminded that we serve and worship a holy God who is more than we can ever fathom. Sometimes I feel that we often ‘tip our hat’ to God and go about our week without ever encountering Him and recognizing …read more

If you didn’t catch it the first time we talked about it, tonight is the night that Third Day will be performing and promoting their new album “Revelation” which released today. Cool stuff for the guys in the band, their fans and Christian Music in general.

Go to your local bookstore or retailer and pick-up a copy of Revelation today. You can also purchase it from your favorite online retailer like:

It’s been quite awhile since I first shared the music of Tim Juillet on Christian Music Fan site back in January. That hasn’t stopped him from really pursuing his ministry further and making more and more efforts to get the Message he’s speaking out to as many people as possible.
The video above is one he recently completed for his song “America Repent”, which was used by many locations as their anthem for The National Day of Prayer.

Third Day was featured on Atlanta’s local Fox affiliate Channel 5. They perform “Call My Name” and are interviewed. Mac Powell talks about this album having the same rock feel we’ve come to expect from the group but it has much bigger feel because of who they’ve brought in to help produce and develop the album.

Many of you may have already seen this video called “Cardboard Testimonies”. It reminds me a lot of Brandon Heath’s video for “I’m Not Who I Was”.

If you’d like to share, what’s your before and after with God?

A little more hardcore than my tastes usually like but I still want to be sure and cover some more hard rock and metal groups for people that are interested.
From listening to their songs on their MySpace page it might be something I could start to get interested. It would have to depend on the situation I’m in, it’s not something I would be able to listen to if I were trying to concentrate. Riding my bike or working out though would really get you pumping.

Here are some upcoming concert dates for the group:
7/18 – Pelham, AL – Life …read more
