You articulated a lot of my feelings about M...Wow. You articulated a lot of my feelings about Matt Redman's recent creative output. IMO, The Father's Song was his last "strong" album. Interestingly enough, I believe it was the last that he worked on mostly in the UK. I'm pretty sure everything after that was primarily recorded/produced in Nashville. Therein lies the beginning of Matt Redman's problem. He came to America and got plugged-into the big Nashville CCM sausage grinder. Sure, he's been co-writing with Tomlin, Maher, Elevation Worship, et al. However, somehow the most-compelling bits seem to make it onto everyone else's albums. Honestly, I think the best thing he could do would be to go back to Britain, lock himself in Martin Smith's studio, and write/produce it all without the greasy fingerprint of Franklin/Brentwood/Nashville on it. Oh the irony that none of what has become known as "contemporary worship" would be where it is without what Redman and delirious did in the early/mid-90s in the wake of Doerksen, Prosch, and Ruis, etc.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464392104091156652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508293003737956258.post-28295807829315119772016-05-11T11:00:18.886-05:002016-05-11T11:00:18.886-05:00Enjoyed this post with a very minor quibble.
&quo...Enjoyed this post with a very minor quibble.<br /><br />"...the Vineyard churches had popularized..."<br /><br />Vineyard was actually an offshoot of Calvary Chapel. CC founded a record label called Maranatha! Music to record new "Jesus Movement" worship tunes and were arguably instrumental in kicking off the new P&W music paradigm.<br /><br />Not to take anything away from Vineyard at all! (I have several of their albums.) Simply thought you might be interested in the history.<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maranatha!_MusicJesusFreaknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3508293003737956258.post-91676634824329557172016-02-23T14:12:59.886-06:002016-02-23T14:12:59.886-06:00You don't need to apologize for writing a crit...You don't need to apologize for writing a critical review of something, man, this was amazing.<br /><br />I really liked how you articulated the current EDM phase.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020164464770968728noreply@blogger.com
