Thank you to all who responded regarding my curiosity about Larry Norman and
the lists of other Christian artists worth checking out. Plenty to go on the
next time I hit the used shops...
To be honest, I've gotten more joy as of late tracking down obscure artists
I missed the first time around versus listening to a lot of very mediocre
CDs from new acts. Or maybe I'm just showing my age. Maybe not. Much of my
interest was inspired by a bargain book I picked up called RAISED BY WOLVES,
a look at the history of Christian rock.
Living in the Nashville area, the churches have a very different approach
when it comes to performing music--you can imagine the wealth of musical
talent. Sunday morning services resemble rock concerts in some of the bigger
churches.
As a musician/songwriter myself but not a fervent believer, I've looked for
ways of connecting somehow through the easiest route I know--through music.
