It is a new year, and a new decade as well, and even though I have enjoyed taking a break from the blog during the Christmas season, it is time for Vinyl Revival and our weekly blog to once again get back to work. I have had some time to refocus my thoughts and energies for the upcoming ye
This Week Vinyl Revival Highlights The Amazing Marty McCall: By Philip Mayabb
Sometimes it can be a (fun) challenge to try and remember some of the classic CCM artists who I heard on the radio when I was much younger. There are always the big artists (Imperials, Amy Grant, David Meece, Evie, Bill Gaither Trio, etc) that you instantly remember right off the bat.
Do You Know "The Pat Terry Group?" My Confession; By Philip Mayabb
I am going to start this week's blog off with a confession, which is that I don't really have an abundant supply of knowledge when it comes to this week's Vinyl Revival artist, The Pat Terry Group. While they were still active when I began listening to contemporary Christian music in 19
