• Delirious? Goes Out with a Brilliant Farewell Show The Farewell Show—Live in London CD and DVD packs in plenty of career crests from the band's history-making tenure, captured in front of more than 5,000 fans at the UK's sold-out Hammersmith Apollo. Andy Argyrakis Jun 22, 2010 comments
• Robert Randolph Goes Back to American Roots on We Walk This Road Before recording We Walk This Road, Robert Randolph and producer T-Bone Burnett spent hours listening to American roots music, including everything from old spirituals to current popular music. Then they took what they believed to be a good sampling and began infusing them with Randolph's signature, pedal-steel sound. Laura Jenkins Jun 21, 2010 comments
• College Pop Matures on What We Want, What We Get A former staple on the college music circuit, one of Nashville's favorite, formerly independent singer/songwriters, Dave Barnes, is maturing into a full-fledged pop artist with his fourth full-length project, What We Want, What We Get.

• Sixteen Cities' Debut Not Distinct Enough Sixteen Cities enjoys a nice, comfortable road down the well-paved highway known as Christian pop on its debut—making a decent enough, self-titled album in the process but not enough to make a distinct mark. Matt Conner Jun 15, 2010 comments
• Modern Pop Found in Everything You've Been Looking For The young collective's first full-length record, Everything You've Been Looking For, is simply modern pop with a slightly retro slant thanks to Cameron Jaymes' lead vocal hints at vintage soul and a plethora of diminished chord progressions. Andrew Greer Jun 10, 2010 comments
• Hymns Reinvented on Some Glad Morning Familiar tunes abound on Hymns: Some Glad Morning, but every track has been reinvented beautifully by Cindy Morgan. Each song roots itself just enough in the rich gospel tradition without relenting to the predictable formats that have gone before. Matt Conner Jun 08, 2010 comments
• Superchick Mixes It Up on Reinvention On Reinvention, Christian music's favorite smorgasbord band, Superchick, mashes it up once again, churning out retooled versions of the GRAMMY-nominated group's favorite catalog songs. Andrew Greer Jun 03, 2010 comments
• The Light Meets the Dark a Sure Fan-Pleaser The Light Meets the Dark takes the pop/rock elixir served up on 2008's Over and Underneath and largely hits "copy and paste" to create a strong sister release sure to gives fans more of what they wanted. Matt Conner Jun 01, 2010 comments
• Hearts of Saints Poised for Breakout Success There are plenty of reasons to embrace Hearts of Saints' self-titled effort, starting with pristine production from Ainslie Grosser, crossed with a sound that falls somewhere in between the stadium shaking sounds of Switchfoot and the alternative dance pop sensibilities of The Killers.

• Missions Inspires the Music on Vagabonds The title to The Classic Crime's latest long player implies a certain need to travel; and while the alternative rock act is no stranger to touring, the inspiration actually comes from a more missions-minded journey. Andy Argyrakis May 25, 2010 comments
• MercyMe's Lovewell Not Quite a Concept Album To call MercyMe's latest project, The Generous Mr. Lovewell, a concept album would be an overstatement. But there's certainly a unified thread that runs throughout the 11-track collection of uplifting pop and rock. Andy Argyrakis May 20, 2010 comments
• Patty Griffin Gets Spiritual on Downtown Church Traces of gospel have pervaded Patty Griffin's melancholic discography ever since she made her 1996 debut. But not until recently did the folk songstress decide to record a full-fledge spirituals record. Andrew Greer May 18, 2010 comments
