CCMRewind - Classic Christian Music Artist

Susan Ashton – Revelation Song

2012-04-25T12:58:13Z

On this date in 1991 we were just getting to know a new artist by the name ofSusan Asthon through her song “Down On My Knees“. Incredibly over the
next Four (4) years, she would have a string of Sixteen (16) songs in the Top
Ten of the Christian music charts with Nine (9) of those taking the top spot
including “Hunger And Thirst“, “Walk On By“, “Remember Not” and “Stand“.

You can view more of her music here including whole projects and individual
mp3 singles you can purchase from Amazon.

Its been a while since we heard anything from her but we’re happy to report
that on her artist Facebook page she posted

“NEW MUSIC IN THE MAKING!!! My tracking crew this past Thursday – Gordon Kennedy, Wayne Kirkpatrick, John Hammond, Jimmie Lee Sloas and, our fabu engineer, Todd Robbins!!!”

It’s just a shame she could get any A LIST talent to work with her on this new
project, eh?

I remember interviewing Ashton shortly after she broke on the scene. I
LOVED IT because she was HONEST. I love this interview clip presented by
the Worship Network because it gives me a glimpse into what I found so
refreshing about her at the time.

Dr Edward Daniel Taylor – Sprinklerhead

2012-04-19T19:50:29Z

Like none other, the parody and pretty much DIRECT HIT towards the most popular heretics in the faith, we present, Dr. Edward Daniel Taylor.

I especially love the “Fruit O Ministry” total…classic!

So you know (if you are not aware) Dr. Edward Daniel Taylor is the name of a fictional character created by musician and songwriter Terry Scott Taylor for a series of comedy albums.

The fictional Dr. Taylor is an amalgamation of televangelists, along the lines of Robert Tilton, Benny Hinn and Oral Roberts. The character was originally created for a 1990 best of compilation for Terry Scott Taylor’s solo albums and his bands Daniel Amos and The Swirling Eddies, planned by his record label at the time, Frontline Records. Instead of simply giving fans a compilation of previous released music, Taylor and co. created the Dr. Taylor character which served as the emcee of a make-believe telethon called the “Prickly Heat Telethon of Love.”

Dr. Taylor made a reappearance in 2003, with The Prickly Heat Radio Players, and again in 2004 with the limited edition EP, The Perfectly Frank True Story of Christmas. Dr Taylor also made a very brief appearance on The Lost Dogs
2007 Christmas album We Like to Have Christmas, on which he can be heard introducing the band as “The Lost Hogs.”

Using Technology Tell The Greatest Story

2012-04-16T18:03:54Z

This years Coachella Festival included what you might expect, big name headlining acts with several up and comers trying to work their way to the Main Stage…just like Cornerstone, Alive and (enter christian festival name here)…so you are familiar with the routine but this year, one act performed that has been dead since 1996.

Tupac Shakur you’ll remember was the rapper who along with Notorious B.I.G., also known as Biggie Smalls helped to escalate the violence of the east vs West Rap culture which eventually saw both being gunned down just as they seemed to be launching into rare air as artists go. As a result as when any young person dies people are left with a lot of “What if’s” and wondering about how these people would have turned out had they still had life and breath in them. What sort of art would they be creating, what would their voices be saying now? Sadly, we’ll never know, all we can do is look back to the life they completed and either be stuck there or move forward.

Fans of both Shakur and Smalls are among the most loyal and this year at Coachella, Shakur returned to the stage via Hologram to perform a couple of songs with Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre.

Back in November of 2011 the very same company teamed with TMobil to present Mariah Carey as a Hologram on five separate stages across Europe simultaneously. It is really incredible to see and in the few short months that have elapsed since the Carey performance it appears that the technology has evolved even further.

If you want to see Tupac and Nate Dogg performing at Coachella you can do a search for it but because of its incredibly extensive use of vulgar language, I won’t link it here.

The technology is INCREDIBLE and undoubtedly is a way to tell the story of GOD in a way that will drop people directly in the middle of what is going on so they can experience situations in a powerful and unique way.

Imagine being present in the Upper Room. What about being one of the crowd that screams “Crucify HIM!!!” How bout making the trip to the top of a hill where Christ hung, and died? How would you react if you were able to see the Resurrected Lord the way Thomas, Mary, Peter and Paul did? More than a movie, this technology could actually drop you in the middle of these experiences..to me, it is mind blowing and exciting!

In 1 Cor 9:19 – 23 Paul said

19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them.20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law.21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law.22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.

I think this is just one more platform that we can use to share JESUS with others.

What do you think?
