New Music to Try

-
I've dug out some old CDs this week, albums that are actually excellent but forgotten (and not well known to begin with). Here are some cuts to look up on iTunes if you're in the mood:

PFR: The Late Great PFR (Christian rock band with 80s-pop tinges):
-- Pour Me Out
-- Spinnin' Round: the kind of song the term "infectious" was made for)
-- Goldie's Last Day: a kind of miracle---a song about the death of a pet that is tender but not sentimental and even humorous

Jars of Clay: The Eleventh Hour (Christian rock band you may know from their hit "Flood"):
-- Fly: amazing song about death
-- Something Beautiful: a prayer for internal redemption
-- Revolution: hard-driving song about true revolution---not slogans, t-shirts, or violence but a radical commitment to feed the hungry, shelter the poor

The Elms: Truth, Soul, Rock and Roll (um, yes . . . Christian rock band; mostly secular lyrics):
-- Let Love In
-- Go Toward the Glow
-- The First Day
