One of my first jobs in Nashville back
in the late 70’s was working at RCA records as a grunt, loading boxes of
albums (remember those) into trucks for shipping. Up until that time
most all of the Country music stars were individuals (Ronnie Millsap,
Crystal Gayle, Hank Jr., Clint Black) But one day, a huge shipment of
albums arrived that had RCA and all of music row buzzing. It was a new
album not from the latest country singer but from a country band!
That album was the debut record of the first successful band in country
music, still putting out hits today nearly 30 years later. I’m speaking
of course of the group ALABAMA.
I tell you this because I see a
similar situation in New Thought music. We are all familiar with artists
like Jana Stanfield, Karen Taylor Good, Greg Tamblyn, David Roth, Karen
Drucker, and Karl Anthony. But how many new thought bands can you name?
Liquid Blue is filling this bill and doing an awesome job. They are the “Alabama” of
New Thought music! All comparisons stop there however. Liquid Blue is a
7 member group with four band members and three lovely and talented
young women fronting the group giving them the shades and sounds of pop
sensation, Destiny’s Child, but with the New Thought, socially conscious
message.
LB has performed in 60 countries to
sold out stadiums and was voted America’s Best Independent Artists for
2005. Their debut CD, “Supernova” is filled with music to move your body
and mind. It is East meets West where you will hear sitars mixed in with
electric guitars on cutting edge pop dance songs and meditative ballads.
I would highly recommend checking
their tour schedule at and contacting Scott Stephens at to bring them to
your church if they are in your area. You can also hear a lot of their
music from their website.New Thought music now has a band! And I hope
Liquid Blue is still around in 30 years!
