They have made some fantastic music, both with the choir but also with their other projects (the lost dogs <derri> and the "at the foot of the cross" records. Personally, circle slide never connected with me, but Free Flying Soul (which includes "sled dog") and especially Wide Eyed Wonder are great albums that deserve a wider audience. Dw, I would love to see you bring more good CCM to light (or good music that happens to be made by christians), because there is a LOT out there (I.e. Mark Heard, 77's, pierce pettis, terry taylor, steve taylor, swirling eddies, etc. etc. ) Sounds like a great new column idea to me!

I still love “Sled Dog,” but I guess it's a one-off.
