This Weeks Vinyl Revival Is a "Priority" and this Is A Play On Words! by Philip Mayaab
The year of our Lord 1985 was a great year for music, it was one of the best in the 80s. On the mainstream side, we saw the release of Whitney Houston's debut album, and Mr. Mister's "Welcome To The Real World," which in my humble opinion was one of the best rock albums of the entire decade. O
"Read All About It" Sheila Walsh Revealed;by Philip Mayabb
Sometimes I debate whither I enjoyed certain things more before the internet or now that we have it, and I have yet to come to a definitive answer. Gone are the days when you had to stand in line for concert tickets, or when you would have to drive to a retail outlet to get your favorite
From Mainstream to CCM: Cliff Richards Story; by Philips Mayaab
It's always so enjoyable to write these blogs about mainstream artists that have accepted the Lord as their savior, and went on to record at least some Christian music. Our artist on Vinyl Revival this week is not as well known in the U.S. as he is in his native Great Britain, but in 1982 h
"EVIE" The Sweetest, Most Humble Soul Whom in 1970 Blew The CCM World Wide Open; by Philip Mayaab
Music, like most other entertainment entities, has artists that are simply known by one name. Prince Madonna, so on and so forth. Contemporary Christian music also has some artists who go by one name, and this week on Vinyl Revival, we are going to enjoy an album by one of the early "stars"
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
What Does "Final Touch" & "Mamma Jo's" Have in Common? Answer is "Love Song" Raed all About It!!! By Philip Mayaab
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
