**Insider Extra**
For those who simply can't get enough Christian music information!
It certainly has been a while hasn't it? Thank you, thank you, thank you
for all your e-mails that inquired where we've been. Over the past few
weeks we've had a few glitches that have prevented us from getting the
newsletter out to you. But I hope you will all enjoy our brand-new look
with the debut of our HTML format. I think it should make things a lot
more readable in the long haul.
As always it's been a busy few weeks in Christian music with some
pretty high-profile projects hitting store shelves. We checked out
tobyMac's release party for 'Welcome to Diverse City' last night just
outside of Nashville. Good, good stuff indeed. But of course you'll need
to check it out for yourself to get the full effect. For the inside
track on the event, check out this link:
Caedmon's Call also has a unique new album coming out next week called
'Share the Well.' It's a bit of a departure for the band musically with
some great world instrumentation, but its socially aware message
shouldn't come as much of a surprise since that's something the band has
always championed. For a review, click here:

Before we carry on much longer, I'll end with this, a contest for all
you Newsboys fans! As you know the 'boys have a new disc called
'Devotion' that drops in November. How would you like to hear it before
it even goes on sale? Well now you can.or the first 20 people that

following trivia questions below. When you e-mail me at

band today?

its music in the beginning.

On Newsstands Now!
What more can really be said about Steven Curtis Chapman that hasn't
already been said? He's got a flock-full of Dove Awards, best-selling
album after best selling album, and the list of accolades goes on and
on. But instead of simply resting on these laurels, Steven keeps things
interesting with an evolved sound on All Things New that comes from
venturing out of the familiar (Nashville) into the great unknown (Los
Angeles). And if that wasn't enough fodder for an intriguing story,
there's so much more-a new addition to the Chapman clan, his oldest
daughter heading off to college and his thoughts on a whole lot more. So
be sure to check it out!
Aside from that, look for in-depth looks at what's new with FFH, Sandi
Patty, Scott Stapp (yes formerly of Creed fame) and Casting Crowns. And
for those who like things a little louder, we've got a great spotlight
on Underoath, a hardcore band that seems to be making new fans every
day. Click here to subscribe:
