Another GEM from Jars of Clay

By FrostyPastor,
I knew the cd was coming out soon but was surprised to find it at WalMart on "release day" and just had to pick it up. I've been drawn to the band from the beginning - I remember seeing them sing "Flood" on the Today show way way back in the day. I saw them last fall as part of the "Music Builds Tour" with Third Day and Switchfoot and thoroughly enjoyed their all to brief set.
This is excellent pop-rock music and I can imagine some of these songs crossing over from the Christian music world into the wider market. Would that be a bad thing??? I surely don't think so. They guys sing about love and relationships and the struggle to live genuine lives that matter and make a difference in the real world. Christian artists don't have to talk about God or about Jesus explicitly in every song they write and sing. Even without it, there is an unmistakable foundation to their writing and we know that these are people committed and centered in the right place. An impressive piece of work. Listen closely. Enjoy.
