I pulled up this video of an artist I have respected and enjoyed for many years now. She used to be Leslie Phillips in the CCM world and I just loved her last recording with her "Christian " label. It was a harsh criticism of the religion that had left her cold and seemed to stand in the way of her desire for God. She Changed her name to Sam Phillips and has written and sang some of the most honest music I have heard over the past 15 or so years. Check her out.
I NEED LOVE
I left my conscience like a crying child
Locked the door behind me put the pain on file
Broken like a window I see my blindness now
And I need love not some sentimental prison
I need god not the political church
I need fire to melt frozen sea inside me
I need love
Driving into town tired and depressed
Like a flare a street light burst and SOS
Peace comes to my rescue
And I don't know what it means
And I need love not some sentimental prison
I need god not the political church
I need fire to melt frozen sea inside me
I need love
Broken like a window I see my blindness now
And I need love not some sentimental prison
I need god not the political church
I need fire to melt frozen sea inside me
I need love
I need love
I need love
I need love

Kent,
Thought you might like to give this a look, a new group thats been flying under the radar for a while now,and are getting some wonderful recognition, I love their sound, and that they're just kids.

Rich, I will have to check out some more of their stuff. I liked that song.
Thanks for the tip. I keep meaning to search and research some of the stuff I've lost touch with, I'll add it to the to do list.
Cheers
