People get ready..

Today I had a conversation with Dave about "Christian" music. We both decided that neither of us like the generic stuff on the radio (but then again, who does). Lately I've been on the search for "good" christian music. Music that is intelligent, passionate and well, music that sounds good to my ears. So far I have found nothing. An occasional Bethany Dillon song will keep me happy.. but I haven't came across any thing that I can actually stand listening to for long periods of time.

Anywho, about midway through my conversation with Dave I find this website: ipickmynose.com and am instantly intriuged. It was actually what inspired me to create this blog. Whowuddathunk.

I began to listen to some of the songs posted.. nothing fabulous but worth listening to more. I scrolled down to the middle of the page and found the gospel section. Now, I am usually not one for gospel (even though I LOVE Jesus...) but since we were on the topic of searching for good Christian music I decided to give it a try. Much to my surprise I was instantly rewarded by the "big mama tone" of Shirley Ann Lee. There is so much conviction in her voice.. and I love the blue-sy tone. There IS a light in my life shining over me! Excellent. And as I listened to the other songs posted I was even more blown away. Sam Cooke's "Were You There" was so different than the common hymn I grew up singing in my church. The soul is so soothing!

Thank you ipickmynose for this brilliant music! In the meantime I will keep searching. And if YOU happen to come across any good Christian music I would definitely appreciate you sharing. Not that anyone will read this. ..
