An annual concert tour lasting 20 consecutive years is a rarity in the music industry. But that's exactly what this year marks for singer-songwriter-author-filmmaker Andrew Peterson, whose Behold the Lamb of God tour celebrates its 20th anniversary this Christmas season. To further commemorate this milestone, Peterson has recorded a new edition of the correlating album, Behold the Lamb of God: The True Tall Tale of the Coming of Christ, which will be released October 25.
"That recording session was one of the best things in my music life," Peterson says. "How often do you get to go into the studio with a group of musicians who have been touring the same songs, playing the record live for 20 years? I've never really heard of that happening. And we decided to record it together in the studio all at once, which also doesn't typically happen these days. I walked into the room with around 20 musicians and old friends, and we sang through all of the songs in two days. To get all of the energy of the players together in one place--and more than that, we're friends--it's all people you have years and years of history with....I've never seen anything like it."
