  • Sparrow Records Discography
    Sparrow Discography by Mike Callahan, David Edwards & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Sparrow Records Discography Sparrow is a Contemporary Christian label founded in 1976 by Billy Ray Hearn. Hearn was the A&R Director for Word Records’ Myrrh label, founded a few years earlier also as a Contemporary Christian label. Sparrow also released records under their Birdwing subsidiary. Hearn’s Sparrow label was in competition with Hearn’s old boss, Word Records, and was quite successful. Even today, Sparrow is among the top Christian labels. Hearn sold the label to EMI in 1992, and it was placed under the Capitol Christian Music Group. Sparrow signed a distribution agreement with MCA in April, 1981 to release their product in the secular market while the regular Sparrow issues were distributed to Christian stores and Christian radio stations. The arrangement with MCA lasted until October, 1986, when Sparrow switched distribution to Capitol.

  • Ichthus Music Festival in Its Later Years Was to Reach out and Share the Gospel Message to Young People Through Contemporary Christian Music
    The Asbury Journal 75/2: 288-326 © 2020 Asbury Theological Seminary DOI: 10.7252/Journal.02.2020F.08 of Christian Music Comes to Wilmore It was the “dawning of the Age of Aquarius” as the 1967 musical Hair told us.1 The hippie and New Age Movements were in the ascendancy. The U.S. was in the middle of the Vietnam War. In 1969, it seemed like the counterculture exploded when on August 15-18 the Woodstock Music Festival was held near White Lake, New York. Political and cultural shifts were occurring at a breath-taking pace, and the evangelical church seemed remained isolated from much of this cultural change. Yet while cut off from much of what was going on in the U.S. culturally in 1970, an idea emerged, led by students (called the Christian Service Brotherhood) and their faculty advisor, Dr. Bob Lyon of Asbury Theological Seminary, of a Christian music festival as a counterpoint to Woodstock. Using the Wilmore campground, was established. It would continue as one of the major Christian music festivals in the U.S. until 2012, for 42 years, and would be called by at least one writer, the “granddaddy” of all Christian music festivals.2 Music plays a crucial role in youth culture, and rock and roll has within the context of the United States. While rock and roll partially grew out of gospel music, it took its own secular form of development and so was often actively opposed by many conservative Christians. As the academic study of Christian music has pointed out, The dilemma for Christian adolescents then is clear.

  • Music That Glorifies God
    MUSIC THAT GLORIFIES GOD 2 Peter 2:1-3 “… there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. “And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. “And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you …” “… The most brutal, degenerate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear – naturally, I refer to the bulk of rock and roll. It fosters almost totally negative and destructive reactions in young people. It smells phony and false. It is sung, played and written for the most part by cretinous goons and, by means of its almost imbecilic reiterations and sly – lewd – in plain fact, dirty lyrics, and, as I said before, it manages to be the martial music of the earth. This rancid aphrodisiac I deplore … .” The above is not a quote from a fundamentalist preacher, but from old “blue eyes” himself, Frank Sinatra, in an article written during the fifties and quoted in the Detroit Free Press (April 18, 1987). Since that time the rock genre has become the dominant musical force in American culture. Without question rock is nearly synonymous with the youth culture. Professor Allan Bloom of the University of Chicago sums it up in his best-seller The Closing of The American Mind: “Though students do not have books, they most emphatically do have music. Nothing is more singular about this generation than its addiction to music.
