"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.
dc Talk preaches a gospel of color blindness, honesty, and simple kindness, wrapped in a guitar-based sound that mixes '70s-type strings and thick backing harmonies with '90s attitude and rhythms. It also helps that there's more than a little Red Hot Chili Peppers influence lurking under the hood.

Entertainment Weekly (12/22/95, p.68) - "...successfully...combines textured vocals, aggressive guitar, and solid songwriting..." - Rating: B+
Vibe (3/96, p.133) - "...while the music is a keen fusion of rock, soul, and bits of rap, JESUS FREAK'S themes are as timeless as the faith DC Talk reshape for a generation bombarded by grunge and gangsta grooves..."

| Robert Plant Nine Lives CDs (2006) With DVD; Remastered; Box Set
Jesus Freak 10th Anniversary Special Edition music CDs
$86.35
The colossal legend of Led Zeppelin looms so mightily over the history of rock that it's sometimes easy to overlook the fact that Robert Plant has had a solo career that's outdistanced Zep in terms of longevity and output. NINE LIVES, a 10-disc box set, presents Plant's solo work in its entirety. Each of Plant's nine solo albums is included, and each is complemented by live tracks and a bonus DVD.
Listening to the whole of Plant's catalogue, what impresses most is its variety and range. Beginning with 1982's PICTURES AT ELEVEN and continuing through 2005's MIGHTY REARRANGER, NINE LIVES offers up atmospheric grooves, 1950's-style pop, synth-driven new wave, Middle Eastern drones, straight blues, and a healthy dose of post-Zeppelin thunder. Plant's voice morphs too, from dispassionate popster to banshee ...
