Any good Contemporary Christian recordings

Try these:

"Try" or "Ten Thousand Days" by Bebo Norman

Warren Barfield's debut album

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"?

Nicole Mullen-talk about it
Sam Phillips-zero zero zero
Rebecca St James- God
Stuff produced by Tbone Burnett is usually has good sound quality and is bound to be diverse.

One of my favorites, and has been for a long time is Steve Taylor's "I Predict 1990" The sound is great, and the songs are typical of his sense of humor and sense of the world.
The first Sara Groves CD sounds very good too.

I'd also recommend Amy Shreve's Harp and Willow.

Micheal Card's Starkindler (I think that's the name) sounds very good, also has a real Irish flavor to it.

If you want something more Bluesy or Gospel check out Babbie Mason's cd with "Wade in the Water" I can't think of the name of it off hand but I have it at home. I lied, the name is Timeless. I've played it for several audiophile friends who liked it inspite of the real Gospel.

Steve Camp has a good CD called Justice, sounds good with good material.

Bob Dylan's "Saved" is a fun gospel LP with great material and back up singers. I love it, but I'd argue that Dylans Christain phase was not a phase. Read the book reastless pilgrim!
