The Petra Zone

I just got this CD and love it. His voice shows some age and maybe some wear and tear from the brain tumor surgery he had years ago, but it rocks hard and really sounds like a Foreigner version of great Christian songs.

It made me wonder what other former rockers are out there who are putting out great Christian albums.

Obviously, John Schlitt qualifies as he was the voice of Head East when they put their great Flat As A Pancake album out.

But are there many other 70's and later "classic" rock singers who are making Christian music?

And if so, is it worth buying?

By the way, if you haven't heard the Lou Gramm Band and you were a fan of Foreigner, you need to check it out. And if you go to CBN, they have a great interview with Lou that's about 48 minutes long that is very worthwhile too.

Yeah, I bought what I thought sounded like the two best of Gramm's new songs from iTunes. Gotta say I don't care much for them. Nothing against Gramm - just not my style, I guess. (It's just not "Petra"-enough for me, I think!

It's bluesy rock with a lot of guitars and excellent harmonies and hooks. A lot like early Foreigner.

What songs did you listen to? The only song that I don't really like is Rattle Yer Bones.

It's definately got a late 70's sound to it.

I'm thinking about buying this...I've always been a big Foreigner fan.

Where can I buy the actual CD? I don't do iTunes.

You can get it from www.amazon.com. I have it, it's pretty good but not as good as 70's - early 80's Foreigner IMO, but I LOVED Foreigner back then!

There is a really great interview with Lou here at CBN.

He has lead quite a life and has a really good testimony.
