TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album.
This Australian band plays contemporary Christian rock. And, here's a newsflash: listeners unwilling to get past that fact are missing some good music. This is the Newsboys' sixth album, and it shows. The songs are well-executed, energetic and catchy. And the band has a sense of humor, as well as a decided chemistry--both phenomena probably the result of playing together for so long. The Newsboys have honed their sound--kind of a cross between Fishbone and the Dave Matthews Band--into one that produces fine rock ditties like "Let It Go," the boisterous "Cup O' Tea" and "Breathe," which features some fine scratch-funk guitar work by Jody Davis. TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER deserves to reach the ears of many rock fans, religious persuasions aside.
These Christian rockers, like fellow Jesus freaks DC Talk, absorb a lot of contemporary pop around them, so unless you're searching for the message, it's liable to be lost. Which leaves one with the music, which, unfortunately, has soaked up the blandest and most pedestrian of contemporary pop's devices (like power riffs and muscle anthems). ~ Michael Gallucci

JESUS FREAK won the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rock Gospel Album.
"I don't really care if they label me a Jesus Freak...there ain't no disguising the truth." That line shows how Kevin Smith, Michael Tait and Toby McKeehan of dc Talk wear their Christianity on their sleeve. They also, as the saying goes, rock the bells. In other words, they have a message, but the music doesn't ever take a backseat. From "Help Me God" to "Between You And Me," these songs are intelligent and sincere, but are above all, powerful rock and roll tunes.

| | Marcus Johnson Smooth Jazz Christmas CD (2005)
Take Me To Your Leader
$13.69
His smooth jazz contemporary Dave Koz may be a better-known multimedia sensation, but keyboardist Marcus Johnson has been at the top of his game these past years as an artist, record label executive (Three Keys Music, dedicated to a sound he calls "metropolitan smooth"), and drive-time DJ on WJZW in Washington, D.C. While the label's catalog shows an equal affinity for urban-flavored pop sounds and more straight-ahead jazz, Johnson's holiday celebration, Smooth Jazz Christmas, is decidedly on the lighter, playful side. With the exception of the atmospheric, retro-soul-flavored "White Christmas" -- which features a thoughtful Fender Rhodes melody -- Johnson sticks smartly to the crisp organic sounds of the acoustic piano, working out bright, lively elegant funk arrangements of "We Three Kings" and the Donny Hathaway chestnut "This Christmas," while going more contemplative on other tracks. For variety's sake, he spotlights the sweet-voiced East Coast crooner Keith Ailer on a restrained reading of "The Christmas Song" and, more impressively, a welcome boogie woogie twist of "Silent Night." ~ Jonathan Widran
Marcus Johnson has taken the plunge into the holiday music arena. He’s compiled nine classic holiday songs and added his own special twist to them. He opens the CD with “We Three Kings.” His keys replace the vocals in this tune and, along with the saxophone player, provides a jazzy rendition of a favorite carol. Marcus shines on his rendition of “The Little Drummer Boy.” It’s an understated, quiet keyboard version of a song where most artists would emphasize the drum. Even when he goes into the song’s bridge, it’s never overpowering or too much. He adds enough of his own to “Away in the Manger” and “Let It Snow,” that at times you don’t recognize these tunes for what they are. This is not a bad thing. He’s ...
