the weekend of May 15th & 16th, 2010: |
 If you've never met
Jason Crabb in person, you should try to do so sometime. You'll enjoy
it. He's as "real" as they come. Perhaps you sensed a bit of that during
our Featured Artist interviews on this program. He just is open — and
"tells it like it is." And he's been like that since the mid-90s when we
first got to meet him and the Crabb Family. This Grammy and Dove winner has
been well received by lovers of many Christian music genres, but, as you
heard him say, he loves his Southern Gospel roots. His recent "Walk On
Water" radio hit was an unusual song, one that required careful attention
to figure out the meaning. But when that meaning became clear, it was a powerful
reminder about how we should lives our Christian lives. "Daystar"
is a classic that's his new radio single, also from his debut "Jason Crabb"
solo CD.
 Jason Crabb's CD featured on this program, "Jason
Crabb," is available from our mailorder service, Springside. Just call
1-800-38-MUSIC to order. You can order easily from our webstore by
using this
link to go directly to this item. (Orders over $40 in the USA qualify
for free shipping.)
 We got a chance to visit very briefly on this program with
singer/songwriter/musician Stephen Hill. He's had a lot of songwriting
credits recently, including, as you heard him mention, that big song for
Karen Peck & New River, "Why Can't All God's Children Get Along?"
Songs included during this Artist Spotlight visit were from his new CD,
"Good Things Happen." His song "Wrap Your Shadows In Sunshine"
sounds like something Rudy Vallée would have sung a few generations
ago through his famous megaphone. You can visit Stephen's website at

I appreciate our DJ On The Line this week, Scott Beigle, for reminding
me of Mitchel Jon's great song, "Something Visible." Last year
I wrote a newsletter column about that song because of its powerful message.
You can

that column here.
I also mentioned on the program that I had written about the song "Fear
Not Tomorrow" in my e-mail newsletter this past week.
Here's
a link to that article.
