Any good Contemporary Christian recordings

Sarah Jahn 'Sparkle' It's her only CD. Available on ebay.

Sara Groves 'The Other Side of Something'. I think this is her best effort. Haven't heard her new CD but it's supposed to be pretty good. Available from her website.

Ross Wright Band-check out the "Will Play For Change" Tour on the website. Chance to check out a variety of bands in different locations.

Anything by Gillian Welch.

Ditto the The Innocence Mission.

Mindy Smith, One Moment More (not quite as saturated with Christian lyrics
as the above).

The Blind Boys of Alabama (the new one with Ben Harper is great)!

Bob Dylan had a Chritian phase with three or four CD's devoted to that theme.

I'm assuming you are looking for Popular Music and not for Classical, but if
the latter as well, you may want to add that to your query.

Marco, do you see Gillian Welch as a Christian artist? Interesting. Some of her songs have religious themes and imagery, but I always thought it was just in the vein of the kinds of sings she does.

Drubin - well, yes, I guess it is that the content of much of her lyrics contain so many Christian references, and spiritual overtones that I assume that it is part of the message she wants to bring to her music. As far as her own personal beliefs, I have no idea, if that is what you are questioning. I guess the question you may be posing is, what exactly constitutes a "contemporary Christian recording"?
