Dream Worship Records ought to get our thumbs up for championing worship music to the fore.

Casting Crowns “A Live Worship Experience” Album Review

CCM, like all genres of music, seem to be in trouble. Sales of Christian music have plummeted to an all-time low, this has made it almost impossible these days for many artists to make a living out of selling music.
