Yea! Kaiser is da man! And he is a pretty nice guy in person, too. Wendy is also very cool. Their best album ever (IMHO) was "Colours", (and if you remember that one, you know how long I've been listening to Christian Rock - and about how old I am! LOL!) their next best, "Civil Rites".

Ever listen to Lanny Cordola's first solo album, "Electric Warrior, Acoustic Saint"? His guitar work is utterly amazing - from a take on Mozart called "Marriage of Figaro(sort of...)", to a flamenco-styled acoustic burner called "Jalapeno Man" that incorporates some of Aranjuez's "Malaguena", to a crisp acoustic version of "Amazing Grace" - done with a whole lot of "tonics" (aka overtones)...

Nice to know some still recall "Rez"

Hey cool You know them. I would love to meet them someday and tell them how much it means to have good rock to listen too.

Your have been listening for a while I guess your were into the Second Chapter of Acts? When I was real little I remember going over to my older cousin's house and he would be playing them along with Rare Earth and Three Dog Night. I came across REZ by accident and was glad of it. REZ, Bride, and White Cross opened up a whole new music vista for me. I could not believe how good the music was. What amazes me is that some of these groups are so much better than what is offered by main stream music today. It would be nice to see these groups break out.

Thanks for the 411 on Lanny Cordola's album I will have to check that out. You got any more goodies you can turn me on too?

I have a friend who is really into the heavy, HEAVY metal-type Christian rock. About 10 years ago he somehow secured a daily gig on the local CCM radio station.

Throughout the day, the CCM station would play non-offensive, light mainstream, soft-pop contemporary Christian music; and then, at exactly 3:00, screaming, cookie-monster vocal, death metal would rip through the radio. It was hilarious.
