Larry Norman

By lilleywhite,
If you enjoy contemporary Christian music, and I’m sure you do, you can extend a huge thank you to the man who started it all. Larry Norman created quite a stir in the 60's Christian music world when he raised the question “why should the devil have all the good music?” Which he asked in a song appropriately titled “Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music?” From there he continued to record sometimes controversial-styled songs that live on today as staples to the contemporary music world. He sang about everything. Politics. Dissension. War. Poverty. Helplessness. Hopelessness. The Gospel. Christ. Salvation. Heaven.
Rebel Poet, Jukebox Balladeer: The Anthology rounds up all of his greatest hits and packages them in one irreplaceable addition to any Christian music collection. Cleverly written lyrics, sometimes even downright funny, really make you think. You’ll enjoy the retro vibes, classic guitar riffs, and general awesomeness of Larry Norman. Your parents may even ask you to turn it up.
Favorite Tracks: Moses: A Blue’s Recital, I Wish We’d All Been Ready, I Am The 6 O’Clock News, Peacepollutionrevolution.
