Poor Man's Riches - 'Energy'
In 2003, Christianity Today named Poor Man's Riches as one of the Ten Independent Artists You Should Know and they were on the money. It's taken two years for PMR to release on a label, but it's been well worth the wait.
Point Of Grace - 'Winter Wonderland'
Shelley Breen, Heather Payne, Denise Jones, and Leigh Cappillino have truly outdone themselves on Winter Wonderland. Their signature sound and perfectly blended harmonies come shining through as they take us back to the Christmas times of our youth, with a flair that definitely has some modern touches.

CD Review Revenge of the O.C. Supertones

An older compilation of gospel songs from Nicholas Ministries, Palm Desert, CA; some live, some very ministry-oriented, some just fun to listen to.
Michael Olson - 'Long Arm of Love'
Reviewer Kevan Breitinger says, "Olson's not going to rock any boats just yet, but that's not his mission. The talented instrumentalist (guitar, piano and drums) comes from a strong musical and Christian background and is here to sing of God's grace to the church and anyone else who is listening.
Pillar - 'Where Do We Go From Here'
The latest release from Pillar takes them back to what they do best - hard rock with a little rapcore and a lot of melody.

Reviewer Kevan Breitinger says, "Over the years we've come to expect great things from Nicole Nordeman, two-time Dove Award-winning Female Vocalist of the Year. Brave does not disappoint.

It doesn't matter if you're Catholic, Baptist, Methodist or any of the other Christian denominations, Matt Maher brings music to the table with his sophmore release, Welcome to Life, that will bring you to your feet and then take you to your knees.
Shawn McDonald - 'Ripen'
Ripen is one of the most intimate CDs that I've heard all year. Shawn's lyrics are as raw as they are powerful and everything about this CD is straightforward and from the heart.
Jeff Morris - 'Everything'
Reviewer Kevan Breitinger says, "There’s a nice diversity of styles on “Everything,” covering worshipful ballads to full-on rockers to radio-friendly pop."
Roads To Rome - 'Love Rain Down'
For a debut album, Road to Rome's music is surprisingly well done. The lyrics are all Christ centered, the music is quite talented and easy to listen to and the mix is on the money. The guys from Road to Rome are on to something good!
Pastor Rudolph McKissick Jr. & the Word and Worship Mass Choir - 'What a Time!'
CD Review of What a Time! - Pastor Rudolph McKissick Jr. & the Word and Worship Mass Choir
Sandi Patty - 'Songs for the Journey'
Sandi Patty has been a mainstay in Christian music for the past 30 years, garnering her more awards than any other female Christian aritst. "Songs for the Journey" isn't really a "best of" type of album, but it does bring to mind the Sandi Patty of yesteryear.
Sandi Patty - 'Hymns of Faith ... Songs of Inspiration'
Sandi Patty's "Hymns of Faith ... Songs of Inspiration" is a wonderful collection of songs that combines ol' time favorites with some beautiful patriotic songs and some anointed worship music.
Jimmy Needham - 'Speak'
The first thing that popped into my mind when I heard Jimmy Needham's "Speak" was "Wow! A male version of India Arie!" He's got soul, he's got a bit of jazz, he touches on pop and rock and he challenges you in your own walk every step of the way. This young man has a lot to say, and I suspect that over the years, we're going to hear much more from him.
'Beth Moore Presents: Songs of Deliverance' - Various Artists
What happens when you put music by Sara Groves, CeCe Winans, Ronnie Freeman, Amy Grant, Travis Cottrell, Steven Curtis Chapman and a few other greats on one CD? You find yourself moved from start to finish.
Rush Of Fools - 'Rush of Fools'
Easy to like, easy to sing along with and showing great potential, Rush of Fools has what it takes to go far. I have high hopes that this group of talented, young musicians will grow into a strong presence in the Christian Music field. We definitely need more young leaders like these guys.
