Discovered new music site


I was excited recently to find a music site - Pure Music - that takes artists seriously and has great interviews - avoiding all that "People," "Entertainment" magazine shallow garbage.

Pure music has excellent reviews of artists whose music is well known and obscure. But the interviews are a highlight.

I am a big fan of Buddy and Julie Miller and there is an excellent interview from 2001 that still is equally relevant today. Julie wrote and sang the most beautiful and aching gospel I've every heard.

Among the interviews are
Pierce Pettis (A Bob Smietana favorite).
Allison Krause
John Gorka
David Wilcox

(An aside--you can listen to clips from all the buddy and Julie CDs at their website as well as view all their lyrics. The store isn't working yet, but until then, go to Amazon by using the link at Brad Boydston's site. His church benefits)


Lyrics to Broken Things:

You can have my heart
Though it isn't new
It's been used and broken
And only comes in blue
It's been down a long road
And it got dirty on the way
If I give it to you will you make it clean
And wash the shame away

You can have my heart
If you don't mind broken things
You can have my life if you don't mind these tears
Well I heard that you make old things new
So I give these pieces all to you
If you want it you can have my heart

So beyond repair
Nothing I could do
I tried to fix it myself
But it was only worse when I got through
Then you walked into my darkness
And you speak words so sweet
And you hold me like a child
Till my frozen tears fall at your feet
