Long Time Listener

Music, Music Interviews

In this podcast we'll be focusing on the years that lead up to a debut album and learn what motivated artists to create their initial musical offerings. We'll discuss the work, the songs and the inspiration of bands and solo artists primarily from the 90s and 2000s Contemporary Christian Music catalog, and a whole lot more.

Do you still revisit your favorite debut albums from your youth and twenties? Do you remember how those albums made you feel and how you connected to those songs? Do you ever wonder what went into that album that made it so powerful for you? I do. I want to know the stories behind my favorite songs from these albums and how the band or solo artist found their sound thru these humble musical roots from the source. This is Long Time Listener.
