episode Sarah Jahn - 'Sparkle' artwork
Sarah Jahn - 'Sparkle'

This month on ’33&1/3' we delve into the 1998 album ‘Sparkle’ by Christian rock/pop singer Sarah Jahn.  The album was produced by Glenn Rosenstein and includes performance and songwriting contributions from members of Jars of Clay and the group Plumb. On Sparkle, Jahn subtly introduces spirituality into the lyrics without beating the listener over the head. Vocally she resembles a throatier, more alternative pop version of KD Lang and this record conjures up slinky alternative mid 90’s hypnotic sounds. A very evocative recording, one that will sound a little different every time you hear it.  Sarah Jahn, an uncompromising and somewhat mysterious Christian artist states that she believed she was called to make an album. If it’s a single album of this calibre then maybe we need no other? The artist is true to her God and true to herself. Real artists like Sarah Jahn are particularly rare and here at ’33&1/3’ as you know, we like to bring you the hidden gems from the deepest caverns of the mountains of forgotten and obscure albums. This is certainly that. We wish she would release another, but fortunately for all her fans and for us at ’33&1/3’ we do have ‘Sparkle’. Come take a journey through selfless themes of spiritual regeneration and subjects dealing with cleansing of the old man nature whilst pressing on in faith hoping for a major breakthrough. ‘Sparkle’ is breaking through now on this enigmatic and surprising ’33&1/3’ podcast 21 years after it was first released.

episode Jennifer Knapp - 'Lay It Down' artwork
Jennifer Knapp - 'Lay It Down'

After bursting on to the late nineties CCM scene with her critically lauded and 600,000 plus selling debut album ‘Kansas’, Jennifer Knapp had a lot to live up to with her sophomore effort. It is hardly surprising therefore that ‘Lay It Down’ often gets bumped from thought, if not forgotten altogether. And when discussed, it's frequently dubbed "not as good as Kansas" and "not as exciting as ‘The Way I Am’ her third and most sonically charged album of her ‘Christian trio’. Regardless of these comments, ‘Lay it Down’ is an album that showcases the true meaning of Christian folk rock music and contains some of Knapp's best songwriting.  Good music involves peaks and valleys, taking the listener to the mountaintop one minute and back down to the valley the next. Emotionally and dynamically Jennifer Knapp somehow manages to do just that on this record. On this disc Knapp shows the kind of artistic growth expected from a seasoned veteran. One minute it's Carole King in a coffee shop courtesy of "A Little More," the next you're tapping your toe to a snappy Sheryl Crow vibe on "Lay It Down."  Rich in texture and vocally passionate, complemented by deep biblical lyrics ‘Lay It Down’ offers the listener an exciting musical journey through the Psalms. Is it any wonder then that the album was nominated for "Best Rock Gospel Album" at the 43rd Grammy Awards of 2001.

episode The Church Of U2 - A 1 Year Anniversary Special artwork
The Church Of U2 - A 1 Year Anniversary Special

U2 have never really been shy about their Christian faith. From their early days when they nearly eschewed rock’n’roll fame to devote themselves to full time Christian ministry they were always going to stand out from the pack. Indeed their sophomore effort ‘October’ is as close as any mainstream rock act will ever get to a full on worship album.   Nearly 40 years and 14 studio albums later U2 are one of the best selling music artists in history having sold 170 million records worldwide. They’ve won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band, and in 2005, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.   Yet through it all U2 have maintained their faith and their Christianity still pours out of every album (check out ‘Lights Of Home’ on their latest offering ‘Songs Of Experience’).   So with that in mind and with this month being our 1 Year Anniversary here at 33&1/3 we thought we’d do something a bit different and play what we consider to be the Top 10 spiritual songs by the Irish foursome.   Ben and Alex will count you down from 10 to the number 1 song over a special extended show of 90 minutes.   During that time we hear from Bono as he speaks on faith, hope, love, grace, the church and who Jesus is to him. We also hear from long time U2 producer Brian Eno on what magic happened in the studio to create one of the bands most memorable songs.   So start predicting, pick your own top 10 U2 faith fuelled songs and see how you go as our 1 Year Anniversary Special, ‘The Church of U2’ is sure to entertain, enlighten and ultimately surprise you.

episode Chuck Girard - 'Name Above All Names' artwork
Chuck Girard - 'Name Above All Names'

In this episode we bring you the Christian classic “Name Above All Names” by Chuck Girard from 1983. One of the original CCM Jesus movement pioneers Chuck gives his all on this record which some critics have cited as “one of the most anointed albums I’ve ever heard. I would be hard pressed to find an equal”. Replete with songs of scriptural Pauline wisdom and themes of spiritual warfare Chuck still manages to leave plenty of room for deep devotional worship amidst his clarion call to the church to rise up as an anointed army and take on the strongholds of this world for the Name above all Names. With music that evokes sounds and images of many great artists such as The Beach Boys, Queen, The Pretenders, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Billy Joel and even Pink Floyd, Chuck leaves no stone unturned in his attempt to make the ultimate and maybe even first genuine CCM album. But of course here at ’33&1/3’ we like to be pioneers ourselves and bring you exclusive content which this month we have managed to do. In this episode, thanks to persistent hard work by Ben, we speak to the man himself. Yes that’s right! We have Chuck Girard talking to us about the background to the making and recording of this album. Chuck talks us through how many songs came to him from the Lord and were literally ‘downloaded’ into his spirit…and a whole lot more. Nothing but genuine revolutionary revelations, this month, from legendary Christian music pioneer himself, Mr. Chuck Girard. Simply unmissable.

episode Jars Of Clay - 'Jars Of Clay' artwork
Jars Of Clay - 'Jars Of Clay'

Bursting on to the Contemporary Christian Music scene with their eponymous debut album in 1995 Jars Of Clay took everyone by surprise. Driven by a unique combination of drum loops, alternate-tuned acoustic guitar strumming and organic string accompaniment, Jars Of Clay didn’t sound like grunge or other alternative bands, or like much of anything else CCM was cooking up at the time. Taking their name from a verse in 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 7 the drummerless foursome penned songs which were honest, intense, poetic, and harmonic with sonic influences as diverse as Gregorian chants, mandolin, and gothic layered vocals. With their overtly Christian lyrics these fresh faced college kids from Greenville Illinois were a refreshing break from the pessimism and angst that dominated the mid-90s music scene. Jars of Clay not only succeeded within the realm of Christian music but thrived outside of it with their Adrian Belew produced single ‘Flood’ getting regular air play on secular radio stations and becoming a crossover radio hit that made them as close to a household name as any Christian band ever managed. 24 years on and 12 studio albums later they’re still going strong. But have they ever topped this initial groundbreaking platinum release? Find out with Ben and Alex upon clicking that Play button.
