Christian Music Groups
Oct 19th, 2007 by journalist
Modern popular music with Christian themes in the lyrics is a big industry, especially in the United States. There are several record labels and radio stations that promote Christian music groups. Several Christian music groups hail from the southern states of America or are based there. Country music artists have often blended gospel with their country sounds, sometimes having hit records as a result. Contemporary Christian music groups carry on the tradition, including The Isaacs and The Singing Echoes. Some other genres are more controversial, as some Christian leaders think that rock music should not mix with Christian lyrics. Supporters say that Christian music groups encourage young people to endorse Christianity and to follow Christian teachings. There is Christian hip hop, ska and metal music.
