It is odd that most of what we call Christian pop music is rarely heard on the radio and is rarely memorable. Sure, there are reasons why Christian music is overlooked by secular media shows, however one secular singer once told me that the problem he found with Christian music was that most of the tunes wouldn't stick in your mind after one three minute radio play...with that in mind I must send him a copy of Perry And The Poorboys album. Here we have what has to be close to the most perfect pop album in Christendom, or anywhere else for that matter. After one play you will be humming along with some of the most addictive tunes ever committed to disc. "LADA" is an annoyingly wonderful song about worship in heaven with a hook line that even the tone deaf will be forced to sing, and Perry Springham's voice strains out the lyrics with all the passion and feeling of a man who's got just one shot at bringing some truth to those people who gotta hear it. Better known for his work with the 77s and Lost Dogs, Mike Roe also produces, sings, and plays on some tracks with, the band led by singer/songwriter Perry Springman. Lyrics contain observations on life, love and grace to deeply haunt and move our souls. The band is best at creating atmospheric tracks such as "The Heaven" - an unearthly love song with a spine-tingling guitar hook. One of those albums in which you find something new with each play.

For perfect, passionate, purifying pop, pop out and purchase Perry And The Poorboys.
