  • 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.

  • Recommended Ccm Artists & Bands of a Specific Musical
    RECOMMENDED CHRISTIAN-LABEL ARTISTS & BANDS OF A SPECIFIC MUSICAL GENRE In compiling this list I realize that some artists/bands mainly perform one particular style of music and other artists perform across several musical styles or genres. I have therefore endeavored to be as specific as possible and name particular albums of the artist/band that, in my view, are outstanding in a particular musical genre. NB. ‘v.s.’ stands for ‘vocal similarities’ ‘m.s.’ stands for ‘musical similarities’ Adult Contemporary/Pop Bob Carlisle – what a voice! John Elefante – brilliant vocalist (formerly with Kansas) Jon Gibson – the closest CCM gets to Stevie Wonder (‘Body & Soul’ & ‘Love Education’ CDs highly recommended) Amy Grant – esp. her ‘Lead Me On’ & ‘Behind The Eyes’ CD’s Paul Q-Pek: ‘Touch The Ground’ CD (v.s. to Peter Gabriel at times) Connie Scott: ‘Live To Tell’ (her strongest effort) Michael W. Smith: esp. his ‘The Big Picture’ CD (his magnum opus – contains great keyboard work) Out Of The Grey – quality ‘art pop’ if there is such a genre (great female vocals and guitar work) 2nd Chapter Of Acts – the pioneer of multi-vocal groups (they harmonized well without sounding ‘sugary/syrupy’) Sheila Walsh – esp. her ‘Shadowlands’ CD (excellent) Roma Waterman – she possesses the voice range of England’s Kate Bush (with v.s. at times); one of Australia’s best female vocalists Alternative/Indie/Modern Rock Adam Again – anything by them, but esp. their ‘Homeboys’ CD ApologetiX: ‘Ticked’ CD (a brilliant re-working [parodies] of well-known mainstream alternative/indie songs) Battered Fish – esp. the ‘Modern’ CD (brilliant!) The Choir – anything by them (‘Chase The Kangaroo’ & ‘Circle Slide’ CD’s are absolute alternative gems) Dear Ephesus: ‘The Absent Sounds Of Me’ CD (brilliant emo!)

Art worlds, Becker argues, include more than the artists who create the work which the public commonly defines as art.
