Discover Obscure Jesus Music

In the search for more Jesus Music I have found a treasure-trove at these websites.

You will find music here that is regional for one reason or another not picked up by the major christian music labels and distributed nationally. If you ever wondered where those Jesus music albums with more of the counterculture message were located you will find some of them here. There were many artists singing about things beyond what record labels like Word and Myrrh would allow you to sing about, making their own custom lps or signed to small regional labels.
There is some very good music here and some that is not so good but almost all of it is interesting. Artists from around the world that were making Jesus music in the 60's and 70's can also be found here.
