Remedy

On 2007's REMEDY, David Crowder leads his Waco, Texas-based band through an easy-going and engaging set of Christian alternative-rock songs. Although the album is largely an acoustic affair (see the upbeat "Everything Glorious" and the plaintive "Never Let Go"), Crowder and company plug in and cut loose on the vibrant "We Won't Be Quiet," which features guitar work by newly transplanted Texan Ted Nugent. David Crowder Band: David Crowder (acoustic guitar); Mark Waldrop (electric guitar); Mike D. (bass guitar); B-Wack (drums); Hogan (turntables); Jack Parker (background vocals). Additional personnel: Taylor Johnson, Kevin Howren, Ted Nugent (electric guitar). 1. The Glory of It All 2. Can You Feel It? 3. Everything Glorious 4. ...Neverending... 5. Never Let Go 6. O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing 7. Rain Down 8. We Won't Be Quiet 9. Remedy 10.Surely We Can Change ''Artist Overview'' David Crowder is one of the biggest names in Contemporary Christian Music. His band plays a mix of alt-rock and Dave Matthews-style pop marked by the occasional electronica touch. Crowder is a devout Christian and is unapologetic about his intent to proselytize via his band, hoping to convert the uninitiated and strengthen the resolve of the saved. That said, Crowder and his band are talented musicians and smart songwriters, and have garnered several Dove Awards over the course of their quick ascent to stardom. The group's 2007album, REMEDY, features a cameo from one-time madman turned born-again rocker Ted Nugent.
