Christian Music Fan

While listening to Yahoo Music LAUNCHcast Radio I decided to start my day with some Dave Matthews. His song “The Maker” just played and I caught a portion of the lyrics and restarted it from the beginning. I’m a fan of Dave Matthews but I’ve never heard this song before so it was a good find.
I wanted to share the lyrics of the song with you and see what you though about them? I was also caused to think of Dave’s name as well, pretty Biblical sounding as well.
Oh, Oh Deep waterBlack, and cold like the nightI stand with …read more

Rusty Bova Spins Contemporary Favorites to New Praise Music

I’m a big fan of big band, swing and jazz music. It’s not everyday you hear your favorite standards in those genres with Christian music lyrics added to them. Christian musician Rusty Bova has accomplished the feet that was unexpected.

You can hear some samples yourself at www.gospelthatswings.com.  For his album “Raising the Standards to Praise”, you can hear “So Reliable” to the tune of “Unforgettable”, “Jesus Is the Christ” to “Mack the Knife” and “It Had To Be Him” to the rhythms …read more

I stumbled across this song in my media library. It was misplaced in a folder with bad meta data. Doing a quick search for portions of the name I came across this music video of the song on YouTube.
The song “An Epiphany” is from The Send’s album titled “Cosmos” from Tooth & Nail Records.

I really like the song, I’m not real familiar with the group though. Need to pursue exploring them some more if the rest of their work sounds like this.

Dave Pettigrew is another artist I’ve been listening to lately and really enjoying. Sadly I’ve taken far too long to put my thoughts about the album down in type.
The tone of his message and lyrics are a refreshing breath of the basics of our beliefs and how we feel towards the blessings we’ve been given. His music and lyrics strongly remind me of Steven Curtis Chapman. I’m not the only person who thinks that either, as after reading other reviews of his music, others were stating the same thing.
His album “Every Minute Miracles” he weaves a tapestry of the …read more
