Jesus Freak, like the 1970s phrase that it's culled from, is an oddity. Who could have ever imagined such a wonderful blend of grunge rock, rap, melodic pop, and funk? "So Help Me God" sets the tone with a wicked guitar riff that draws boundaries for the trio's magic harmonies. "What If I Stumble?" and the vastly underrated "Between You and Me" allow Michael Tait to showcase his silky smooth vocals, while "Jesus Freak" and "Mind's Eye" prove the band can change speeds and rock as hard as anyone. For good measure, they even improve upon Charlie Peacock's "In the Light." One of the best Christian CDs of the '90s. --Michael Lyttle

Product description

DC Talk ‎– Jesus Freak / ForeFront Records ‎Audio CD 1995 / FFD5140 UPC 724382514022 // "Jesus Freak" is a song by the American contemporary Christian music group DC Talk. Released on August 1, 1995, it was the lead radio single from (and lends its name to) the group's fourth album. The song was written and produced by Toby McKeehan and Mark Heimermann. Lyrically, the song is about standing up for the belief in Jesus Christ in the midst of persecution. Musically, the song has been described as alternative rock and grunge, with many reviewers and critics noting a similarity to the sound of Nirvana. It received airplay on both contemporary Christian music and alternative rock stations, formats that rarely interact. "Jesus Freak" earned DC Talk three GMA Dove Awards. //// Label: ForeFront Records ‎– FFD5140 Format: CD, Album Released: 21 Nov 1995 Genre: Rock Style: Alternative Rock /// Tracklist: 1 So Help Me God Arranged By [Additional Background Vocal Arrangement] – Michael Tait, Bass – Jackie Street, Bongos, Loops – Todd Collins, Drums – Scott Williamson, Guitar [Guitars], Programmed By [Programming] – Dann Huff, Organ [B-3], Programmed By [Programming] – Mark Heimermann, Producer [Produced By] – Mark Heimermann, Toby McKeehan, Written-By – Dann Huff, Kevin Smith (14), Mark Heimermann, Michael Tait, Toby McKeehan 4:39 2 Colored People Bass – Jackie Street, Otto Price, Drums – Aaron Smith (2), Guitar [Guitars] – Chris Rodriguez, George Cocchini, Percussion – Terry McMillan, Producer [Produced By] – Mark Heimermann, Toby McKeehan, Programmed By [Programming] – Mark Heimermann, Strings, Arranged By, Conductor – Ronn Huff, Written-By – George Cocchini, Toby McKeehan 4:26 3 Jesus Freak Bass – John Painter, Drums – David L.
