Any good Contemporary Christian recordings


I really enjoy contemporary christian music on the radio but have found the few cd's I purchased were lacking in fidelity. Any good recordings to recommend?

Third Day has put out some very good music with a solid Christian emphasis. Their latest, "Wired", is good. Their two cd's, Offerings I and II are their best IMO. They rock without taking a back seat to a lot of secular groups.
Try a great band named Ollabelle. One of the singers is Levon Helms' daughter. Pretty good lineage.
Depending on the type of music that you like, here are several I recommend;

The group Selah has a few albums out with great harmony and each individual artist in the group released a solo CD late last year.

Steven Curtis Chapman has an Abbey Road CD/DVD combo.

Jim Brickman and John Tess have christian albums out.

An older recording of Jerry Williams & Harvest called Mighty River is good.

Amy Grant is has come out with some good CD's.

I second Third Day for a more modern rock sound and the group 4Him has a few good albums.

Enjoy and be blessed
Third Day recordings are good compared to typical rock recordings. Try their first self-titled CD and their "Live: Offerings" CD.

Some Hillsong CD's are pretty decent, it's live worship recorded in their huge church in Sidney.
I am surprised no one has mentioned Bruce Cockburn or Phil Keaggy. I recommend Phil's "The Wind and the Wheat" 1985 or so.. instrumental guitar highly underated by the music press due to Phil's religion. Also quality audiophile recording.
I have all the Bruce Cockburn albums on vinyl up until 1987 or so, the Canadian pressings, superior to the U.S. pressings. After 1989 or so I lost interest in him. His best recordings, IMO are "In the Falling Dark" 1976, "Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws" 1977, "Humans" 1979. Audiophile quality recordings.
I am a Christian, but for over 20+ years have never been able to bring myself to listen to this Christian "Pop" music stuff out there... I am primarily a Jazz and Classical listener, and perhaps the only Christian in the West who prefers Bob Marley to Amy Grant? Now dat be a righteous riddem mon!
