John Bell at Notes From A Hillside Farm stays up later than usual to go on a road trip to Vienna. Virginia, that is. Jammin' Java. Read his report on a night of music by Bill Mallonee. Here's an excerpt:



Mallonee is also a Christian, which puts him in a kind of pop-music no-man's land. He is too interesting and honest for CCM (that is, the Contemporary Christian Music industry) and too concerned with sin and redemption to ever fit into a corporate music marketing niche. It makes it tough for him, but it means the rest of us can see a world class artist in a small club for what you would pay to park at a bigger venue.



Good thoughts on good music.
