Posting For Its Own Sake?

I've nothing substantial to say here, but it's been ever so long since I've posted on this blog. My reader (n.b., singular) is no doubt vexed by my silence, so I submit the following:

Christopher Williams is a remarkable talent. In the eight or so years since I've come to Christ, I've been consistently underwhelmed by contemporary Christian music. Christopher Williams falls on my short list of Christian artists who I consider exceptions to my unhappy discovery (however subjective).

My wife and I recently had the pleasure to see him play live last weekend. In the five shows I've seen, I've never walked away disappointed. His lyrics have all the poetic beauty, honesty and subtlety of some of my favorite hymns, yet they remain contemporary and unique in every sense. He's not just putting "Come Thou Font" on the procrustean bed of modern songwriting.

To boot, he plays (both guitar and djembe) with all the skill and finesse you'd want from a high-end artisan. Wicked. Awesome. Anyway, he has a new album coming out soon for which I cannot wait. So go buy a bunch of his stuff because I would weep to think that such a talent would go under-appreciated.
