艺人介绍

福音音乐团体Casting Crowns最初是一批在佛罗里达州的Daytona Beach的学生于1999年组建的。由歌手、词曲作者、青年牧师Mark Hall创建，最初的团队中包括弹奏者Juan ・DeVevo 和Hector Cervantes 和小提琴手Melodee DeVevo。在两张成功的录音室专辑和两张现场专辑之后，来自佛罗里达的当代信徒摇滚乐团Casting Crowns发行了他们的第三张录音室专辑《The Altar and the Door》。在美国发行首周，《The Altar and the Door》以12万9千张的单周销量成绩获得了本周Billboard 2007专辑榜的亚军。无论是销量成绩还是在Billboard 200专辑榜中的排名，这张《The Altar and the Door》都创造了Casting Crown乐队的最高纪录。　　作为一支信徒摇滚乐队，Casting Crows的音乐也是嫉恶向善的。在开场曲《What This World Needs》中，他们唱着“这世界不需要用一把斧子就能成功的奇迹，也不需要毫无价值的政治谎言，这世界真正需要的是一个乐善好施的救世主，一个引领他们的神灵，一个在人们需要的时候爱他们的神父”。同是基督徒的歌迷可以留心一下Casting Crown的歌词，一定会有意外的收获。在Casting Crown的歌词中，我们也能发现他们对这世界的不满，但他们还是一心向善的。也许每个听到这张专辑的歌迷也都应该重新审视一下自己，对世界多一些感激，少一些抱怨，自己多一些改变或许会使你生活地　　更快乐。　　最后小女孩演唱的那四句无疑是这首歌的点睛之笔。在专辑的后半部分，最感人的一首歌是木吉他配大提琴的民谣小调《Prayer For A Friend》。静下心来去慢慢的体会这首歌吧，我们肯定都会遇到这种为好友祈祷的时刻。

Christian pop group Casting Crowns began as a student worship band in Daytona Beach, FL, in 1999. Led by singer, songwriter, and youth pastor Mark Hall, the group initially included guitarists Juan DeVevo and Hector Cervantes and violinist Melodee DeVevo. The group relocated to McDonough, GA, in 2001, adding Chris Huffman on bass, Megan Garrett on keyboards and accordion, and drummer Andy Williams. This augmented version of Casting Crowns released two independent albums on CD, both of which were well received in the Atlanta area. One of the albums found its way into the hands of Mark Miller, lead singer for country group Sawyer Brown, who was struck by Casting Crowns' driving pop/rock style and Hall's vocal delivery of his hard-hitting but devout songs. Miller signed Casting Crowns to his fledgling Beach Street Records, a division of Reunion Records with distribution by the Provident Label Group, and took the group into the studio along with co-producer Steven Curtis Chapman, himself a popular artist on the CCM musical scene. The resulting album, Casting Crowns, was released in 2003 on the Beach Street imprint. A sampler with five songs, Live from Atlanta, was released on Reunion Records in 2004, packaged with a bonus DVD containing band interviews and a music video. Lifesong, released in August 2005, was their most successful record yet and became a Top Ten national hit.
