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

"Let My People Go" Said Both Moses and The Winans; by Philip Mayaab
Truth be told, there may not be a more talented family in the history of Christian music than the Winans. Based in Detroit, this family has produced success in the music industry like no other, with nearly every member (including Mom and Pop Winans) releasing successful, and often award winning
The Brooklyn Girl With The Soul Filled Voice; by Philip Mayabb
There are a number of things that I still remember about 1982…I turned 15 years old that July, I attended my first professional baseball and hockey games (and our beloved St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series), and several great CCM albums came out that year. Albums like Ag
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head:Read All About It; by Philip Mayaab
It was the type of story that Christian music fans could sink their teeth into...A well known mainstream music artist accepts Jesus as their savior, and begins singing Christian music. It has happened several times over the years, but in 1976, B.J. Thomas became one of the first major c
