Is Keith Urban a Christian? That seems to be the question burning a hole in readers’ minds. Every other search engine query that brings new visitors to this site is either “keith urban christian” or “Is Keith Urban a Christian?” So for that reason, I have scoured the Internet to try to find the answer.

“The Night Before Christmas” is a beautiful song that leaves us wishing for a Brandon Heath Christmas album- perhaps maybe next year. I absolutely love original Christmas songs. “Silent Night,” “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” “Jingle Bell Rock,” etc. are all great and wonderful, but tend to get old. That’s why I like original songs [...]
Right now, country music newcomer David Nail is riding on the success of his breakthrough single, “Red Light,” which is one of the most-played songs on radio right now. The song is #54 on Billboard’s Hot 100 (which includes all genres), and according to the magazine, is one of this week’s songs to gain [...]

The Newsboys as we know them have gone through several big changes in recent years personnelwise- the departure of Jody Davis in 2003 and Phil Joel in 2006; the short-lived addition of Paul Colman in 2006 (Colman left early this year); the return of Davis to replace Colman. However, the band’s newest record, In the [...]

Think David Cook or Daughtry meets U2, with maybe a little Matchbox Twenty thrown in. In songs like “Last Train Home,” former Stage frontman Ryan Star’s sound has David [...]
