专辑介绍

by Vincent Jeffries

Long before the days of CCM and the cross-pollination of rock and gospel, Larry Norman and a small group of California musicians began the &Jesus music& movement. With his haggard appearance, sly wit, and street savvy, Norman was almost a pariah within the formal world of gospel, but a real-life godsend to open-minded music fans. With liberal amounts of sarcasm and a respect for religious skeptics, Norman delivered his church-weary message with skilled pop/rock songwriting. The &Christian Sgt. Pepper& comparisons might be a little overdone, but Norman's solo debut, Upon This Rock, is perhaps the first truly accomplished and relevant Christian rock testimony ever recorded. Tracks like &Walking Backward& and &Forget Your Hexagram& have an undeniable grooviness and a ringing message that, for its time, is amazingly unapologetic and free of dogma. Upon This Rock is more than a novelty; it is a bold announcement from a man who wasn't satisfied to simply create a music subgenre -- Norman reshaped an industry and the lexicon of the modern gospel.
