Is Kelly Willis is an active Christian? It might make sense from that angle. Been is outwardly Christian, and I know he's done stuff with Mark Heard, Bruce Cockburn, and, I think, Vigilantes of Love and T- Bone Burnett.
Despite some of the keyboard sounds being somewhat dated, The Call's best efforts still rock. I saw them do an outdoor show on the riverfront in Cinti. Just as they kicked into The Walls Came Down, a big ol' thunderstorm came rolling up the river. The band kicked into double-time and did a fiery, almost-punk version of their hit, it was awesome.
