I Am Not Talking About Old Songs, but Rather "New Song" by Philip Mayabb
If I were to ask "which hit do you think of first when I mention the name NewSong?", which one would you choose? I don't have time to go through all of them, but some of the more familiar ones might be "Arise My Love", or maybe "This One's With Me" or quite possibly "The Christmas Shoes", but w
The Rock & Roll Preacher "Chuck Girard" Read All About It; by Philip Mayaab
A few weeks ago, we featured the farewell studio recording from one of the best known bands of the Jesus Era, LoveSong. During their brief three year career, the band released a mere two studio albums, and later recorded a double album live recording called "Feel The Love", but they are st
"One In A Million" Find Our Why Stephanie Boosahda Has This Title and By The Way, Who is She? by Philip Mayaab
For some of us (myself included sometimes), as we start to get a few years added to our age, we can't remember things as readily as we once did. I say that because, some of us will have to dig deep into our memory bank this week, because unless you listened to early CCM radio incessantly,
From The Group "America" to A Life With Jesus, Dan Peek's Music is Remembered; by Philip Mayaab
In the New Testament, James tells us "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror" (James 1:22-23 NKJV). That scripture forms the base of the title of thi

I am so happy to be back doing what I enjoy, and that is playing the music I love, and writing about it as well. I hope that everyone had a tremendous Christmas season, and that you're off to a great start in 2019. I missed a couple of weeks due to some health issues (I'm not as young as
The King of Rock & Roll Leads us Into Christmas:by Philip Mayaab
It is the final week of the "official" Christmas season, and with it comes our final Christmas edition of Vinyl Revival. I have to confess, I do not own enough Christmas albums on vinyl...most of what I have are on compact discs. When trying to lay out a battle plan for Vinyl Revival this
"Christmas at Our House" Out of The Closet After 40+Years; by Philip Mayabb
This week's edition of this blog will probably be different from all the others we have presented this year. When I choose an album to play each week on CCM Classic, I try to pick one that I enjoy, and I feel that each of you - our listeners, will enjoy as well. My other job is to write a
Spend A Little Christmas With "The Imperials" by Philip Mayabb
At Christmas time 1980, The Imperials were on top of the CCM world. They had enjoyed steady, progressive success ever since the 1977 addition of baritone singer David Will and lead singer Russ Taff. Each album they released got bigger and bigger, and they hit the stratosphere with the
Do You Know Lanny Wolfe? By Philip Mayaab
Every musical genre has them...those artists that have some major hits, but just don't seem to garner the recognition that their talent says they should have, and the Lanny Wolfe Trio is one of those artists. They have a plethora of great songs, courtesy of Lanny Wolfe's amazing writing ability
A True Tennessee Christmas; by Philip Mayabb
Amy Grant is, and will forevermore be, Christian music royalty. I know some of you are shaking your heads at me right now, and that's fine, not everybody likes Amy for many different reasons, some musical, some personal, and that is your prerogative, but like it or not, she IS at the top of the
