 (1 Customer Review)
MUCH AFRAID is an Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files.
Additional personnel includes: Kate St. John (English Horn); Greg Wells (bass, drums, percussion); Neil Conti (drums).
MUCH AFRAID won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.
The follow-up to Jars of Clay's almost minimalist first album features a bigger sound, with a wider lyrical scope and a more solid, grownup production (by Steve Lipson, of Sting and Annie Lennox fame). These new developments give MUCH AFRAID a real sense of staying power. The Christian alternative rock group appears to have broken out of the often-narrow confines of the genre. There's a hint of psychedelia on "Overjoyed," some Bee Gees-style harmonizing on "Tea and Sympathy," and lush, '70s rock-esque arrangements throughout. Spirituality plays a more subtle role on MUCH AFRAID, but continues to be a vital theme. On songs like "Overjoyed" it is sometimes difficult to separate the personal from the divine. And that's probably just the way the band wants it.

| | Jars Of Clay If I Left The Zoo CD (1999)
Much Afraid CD music
$11.49 
IF I LEFT THE ZOO won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album.
In the '90s, groups like Jars of Clay began to address the perceived gap between Christian music and rock. For young rock/pop artists of the Christian faith, there seemed to be no happy medium until groups like this one learned how to keep the beat while keeping in close contact with their spiritual values. IF I LEFT THE ZOO proves to be a rather ambitious effort for this quartet. It opens with "Goodbye, Goodnight," an eccentric tune whose chamber string section and sophisticated harmonies recall SGT. PEPPER-era Beatles. After that, though, it's straight into a hard-grooving rocker ("Unforgetful You") laced with funky rhythms and buzzing synths. The incidental studio noise and occasional self-parodic touches that crop ...

JARS OF CLAY was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album.
Jars of Clay approach progressive Christian music from a refreshing angle, mixing a simple acoustic folk sound with a hip-hop beat and decidedly un-preachy yet powerfully religious lyrics. Vocalist Dan Haseltine imbues lines like "They say that I can walk on water/If I would follow and believe/ With faith like a child," with palpable sincerity and a charismatic vocal style. Particularly strong are the two tracks produced by Adrian Belew, an eccentric guitarist ...

Much Afraid songs
$6.19
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, ...

A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive ...

Much Afraid music CDs
$18.85
On the heels of a mighty-fine reissue program of his earlier work, Mike Keane released his fifth album in the Royal Family & the Poor guise, compiling a variety of songs from sessions over four years time. In keeping with most of his work, North-West Soul is a solo album in all but name, with Keane handling everything himself with fine results. His voice -- possibly his most underrated quality, thoughtful and gentle without being twee or melodramatic -- gets treated throughout with a slight echo, adding a strong sense of depth and space to the performances. Often the warmth comes through in unexpected moments, as in his narrative praise to another via the chorus of "Midnight Symphony II," perhaps the album's strongest song, though the sense of threat and drama overall in "Hymn to the Right (The Dark Gift)" comes close. Some exceptions aside -- particularly the fairly generic rave attempts "Sol Sonic" and "Starfire," which end the album on an indifferent note -- Keane's general approach to arrangements dates back to his earliest days. Songs like "Falling" and the downright chirpy "Leaves in the Wind" sound like they could have been just easily recorded in 1984 as 2004, and once or twice the feeling is of overly slick "dark" moments from Miami Vice. But given that U.K. post-punk era's rediscovery and repopularization, it's more like a sticking to one's guns that pays off well in the end, ...
