Has anybody listened to the new Crystal Lewis CD?  True Tunes magazine did a
favorable review on it, but none of the local stores have a demo for me to listen
to.  So what do ya think?

See Ya,

Not only are gospel and blues musical cousins, rock music wouldn't exist if
it weren't for the blues.  Just listen to any of the great founding bands
in rock:  Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Cream, Rolling
Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc.  They all started as blues musicians.  Where would
Christian rock music be (and, by extension, this newsgroup) without the blues?
We need more Christian blues.  One song by Mark Farner and one by the Rez band
just don't cut it!  I'm going to have to try to find the guys Andy mentioned.

According to Billboard Magazine's year-end list, here are 1992's most
popular CCM albums...

N.B.  Billboard bases its CCM chart (and most of its other specialty
charts) on reports from specialized outlets.  In other words, this chart
reflects sales in stores that sell chiefly Christian music.  I say this to
explain why Ms. Grant and Mr. Smith did not finish at the top, since much
of their pop success was not tabulated for this chart.

1. ADDICTED TO JESUS-Carman
2. HEART IN MOTION-Amy Grant
3. GO WEST YOUNG MAN-Michael W. Smith
4. UNSEEN POWER-Petra
5. MICHAEL ENGLISH-Michael English
6. FOR THE SAKE OF THE CALL-Steven Curtis Chapman
7. DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES-BeBe & CeCe Winans
8. SANCTUARY-Twila Paris
9. GREAT ADVENTURE-Steven Curtis Chapman
10. ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE-Sandi Patti

12. NU THANG-D.C. Talk
13. TALES OF WONDER-White Heart
14. PURE ATTRACTION-Kathy Troccoli
15. WAKENED BY THE WIND-Susan Ashton
16. FOREVER FRIENDS-Jon Gibson
17. THE WORLD AS BEST I REMEMBER-Rich Mullins
18. CHANGE YOUR WORLD-Michael W. Smith
19. THE WORLD AS BEST I REMEMBER VOL. 2-Rich Mullins
20. REVIVAL IN THE LAND-Carman

(Note: Some people may not think that news like this belongs in this
newsgroup.  Considering that half the articles I've seen today don't even
mention music, I feel that this has just as much right to be posted as any
other... :)  )

First, some recent news:

Amy Grant's "Home For Christmas" was the #2 album in the country during the
week leading up to Christmas.  Although the album will certainly fall after
the holidays, it is still Grant's highest-charting album, selling over a
million copies in its first 10 weeks of release (as a guide, "Heart In
Motion" has now sold 3 million copies)...

No word yet on Michael W. Smith's latest single release (assuming that he
will release a second single to pop radio)...Details forthcoming if
anything happens.

Now let's see how some CCM artists did on "secular" charts this year, according
to Billboard:

uh, right on the first count, wrong-wrong-wrong on the second. it
takes a minimal amount of sound equipment, much less than is found
in the average studio. you can do it yourself with a cassette tape
player if you want. i took the easy way out & used a $15 sound sampler
and a cheap (now around $400) computer.

ironically, in the days of reel-to-reel it was even easier.

Huh?  Why would you think it wasn't a DA album?

This album is from '77 or '78, when Terry and Co. were still in their
Cowboy Hat phase.  It's sort of a twisted re-telling of the Book of
Revelation, complete with lots of pedal steel guitar and Eagles/Poco
harmonies.  It's not one of my favorite DA albums, but it has its
moments, and the harmonies are outstanding.

"!Alarma!," "Doppelganger," and "Vox Humana" form a trilogy, so there's
at least a conceptual theme that ties the albums together.   They're 
fairly dissimilar musically, though.  "Vox Humana," which you have, is
at one end of the DA pop spectrum.  It's probably the most melodic,
hook-filled album that the band has made.  "Doppelganger" is at the
other end of the spectrum.  It's moody, dark, sometimes almost atonal,
and features a fair amount of what I can only describe as the Terry
Taylor Sanctified Drone.  One of the droners, "The Hollow Men," is
based on T. S. Eliot's poem of the same name, and is one of my
favorite CCM recordings.  There are some more melodic songs, too,
and, as you might expect from a DA recording, a fair amount of sarcasm.
"New Car" is a rockabilly rave-up that slams pretty hard into Health
and Wealth theology (e.g., Terry crooning "I'm a King's Kid and I need
a new car!" while the female chorus in the background sings "can you
be more specific?" and "he wants a blessing").  The ORU fans will not
be pleased.

"!Alarma!" is probably mid-way between the two extremes.  It's not as
slick as "Vox Humana," but, on the other hand, you can hum every tune.
It's more guitar-oriented than synth-oriented, unlike the other two
albums, and features some of Terry's most time-honored themes - 
the futility of theological disputes, the efficacy of surfing, and 
caring for the poor and oppressed.

I like all three albums, but I have a real soft-spot in my heart for
"Doppelganger."  It's definitely the weirdest and the most unlistenable
op the three.  For some reason, I find myself listening to it more 
than the others.  Must be the sarcasm.

Speaking of Cornerstone, are there any people who live in the CALIFORNIA
area who want to hook up and plan on going to Cornerstone??
Actually, why don't we get a list going of people who are going who are
one the net and all meet up somewhere.  Ahh, I can see it now
"You slandered (fill in) I'VE BEEN WANTING TO TALK TO YOU!!!!"
Fists fly, bloody remains, jail.  Just kidding.
Anyway, it might be fun to know who is on the other end of the terminal...


I am really hoping that they have invited Tourniquet!!!  But I also know that
they would not have hesitated to respond to an offer to go to Cstone.
All remains to be revealed.  There are always those that do not go, and there
asre always alternate picks.
