CCM group Casting Crowns build on the powerful indie-rock sound of their first album with this 2005 follow-up. Like their self-titled debut, LIFESONG is full of declarations of Christian faith set to music that would sound right at home on MTV and mainstream rock radio. LIFESONG widens Casting Crowns' thematic palette, by mixing in attacks on hypocrisy ("Stained Glass Masquerade") and politics ("While You Were Sleeping"), and meditations on familiar parables ("Prodigal"), among the songs of straightforward praise. Add to these themes sharp, accessible arrangements and the stirring singing of lead vocalist Mark Hall and you've got a contemporary pop-rock record of substance. Producer: Mark A. Miller Engineer: Dale Oliver   Artist Overview When youth pastor Mark Hall wanted to reach out to the kids on his southern worship circuit in the late 1990s, he figured that having a rock band would put his message across much more effectively than if he tried to sway with words alone. The result is Casting Crowns, one of the most popular groups in the Contemporary Christian Music world. Hall's musical ministry is characterized by searing guitar work, uplifting melodies, and super-sized production that has won over secular audiences as well as believers. The band's 2005 best-seller, LIFESONG, inspired a popular video, live album, and inspirational book, and their follow-up recordings have been just as well received.
