Church Jams Now! – Details, episodes & analysis

We’re kicking off Solo September with Empty by Tait. Interestingly, Michael Tait was the only DC Talk member to form a group instead of going the full solo artist route. Will we be Bonded with his debut “solo” record, or will it seem like things are coming Unglued? One thing is certain. We won’t find ourselves at a Loss For Words either way.

We’re wrapping up Junezetta with our Jonezetta Bop 10! It turned out to be a more difficult task than we were expecting with only two albums to choose from. Of course, we want to know your Bop 10 as well. Send those in, and we’ll add your list into our official Jonezetta Bop 10.

Our guest this week, Sarah Dickard, excitedly brings Nichole Nordeman’s 1998 debut record to our attention, which led to a number of stunning flop and bop twists and turns…this episode made CJN history, so don’t sleep on it!

Along the way, Kylan connects Nichole to Seinfeld, and we discuss French pop band Air, Weezer’s broadway show, and Nichole’s rap-adjacent lyrical stylings. Witness the rest of the gang repeatedly ruining Kylan’s attempt at a perfect transition, enjoy his bonkers ‘Amazon review’ game, and find out if ballads are for 8 year olds.

This week we have something totally new for Church Jams Now: our first artist interview! Steven Dail from Project 86 graciously joins us to discuss their 2002 record, Truthless Heroes, in honor of its 20th anniversary. We also discuss his involvement with Starflyer 59, Neon Horse, and White Lighter. Steven even reveals some exciting things on the horizon for multiple projects he’s involved with. It was a fascinating conversation, and Josh could barely contain himself from fanboying the entire time.

We have a Spotify playlist alongside this episode to showcase the sweet, sweet bass Steven brings to all of his records.

This week the CJN Crew tackles what many people believe is the best Emery record. 2005’s The Question. This is possibly the most agreeable Volume to date. We discuss Emery being the "Thinking Man's Screamo" and try to answer “the question” of how how to produce this album as a staged Rock Opera.

We're back again with another EP and a brand new EP at that! Anberlin's recently released Silverline is their first release in 8 years so we figured we'd give it the official CJN treatment. We've got some strong thoughts on the artwork, and something about Anberlin seems to bring out the puns in our discussion. Listen in and let us know if there's Nothing Lost on our assessments, or if we end up just talking ourselves in Circles.

Get ready to deep dive into Larry Norman's 1972 album 'Only Visiting This Planet' with the CJN Crew. When Josh first suggested this album we were all kind of leery of it, but boy is it 100% worth it. From inspiring one of the greatest alt rock bands of the 80's to being an early adopter of punk music, Larry Norman was the godfather of "Christian" music and well worth a deep dive. Tuck in your polyester shirt, make sure your bell bottoms are starched, and join us in Vol. 20 of Church Jams Now!
