Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music?

We've all been asking this question since Larry Norman first penned the song in 1972.  Thankfully Geoff Moore also asked that question and now 25 albums later (yes, you read that right) Geoff put to rest that question and put covered that song on his 2nd album OVER THE EDGE. 

Geoff broke into the music scene with the help of Michael W. Smith while working in Nashville at a mens clothing store in 1983/84.  Funny how being in the right place at the right time makes all the difference.  But before you think that it was all coincidental there are a few things you should know. Geoff began singing while he was at Taylor University and was classmate to Whiteheart future lead singer, Rick Florian and went on to collaborate with Steven Curtis Champman on multiple projects. Other coincidences or perhaps divine?  We won't ever know that exact answer but what we will know is that we are thankful that Geoff Moore had these encounters with Rick Florian, Michael W. Smith and eventually Billy Smiley and Steven Curtis Chapman as those early college years gave Geoff the music bug bringing him to Nashville.

Geoff recorded his first of three solo albums in 1984 title Where Are The Other Nine?  featuring guitarist Roscoe Meek, bassist Gary Mullett, keyboardist Geof Barkley and drummer Chuck Conner and Two years later in 1986 with Over the Edge, followed in 1987 by The Distance, all produced by Whiteheart's Billy Smiley.  After signing to Sparrow Records in 1987, he put together a touring band called "The Distance" and the rest is history with multiple Grammy Award Nominations including 4 Best Rock Gospel Albums and numerous Dove Awards. 

The first 2 albums Where Are The Other Nine? and Over The Edge, have never been on CD till now.  The Distance was on CD but nearly impossible to find.  Now all 3 of these albums have been completely remastered and reloaded and will come in a 8-12 page booklet with liner notes, photos, lyrics and a limited edition trading card, all different in each release.  

If you are unfamiliar with Geoff's amazing albums but you like John Cougar Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Segar, you'll be happy to know that Moore grew up listening to those artist and formed his sound base on those music influences.

Good, Honest 70’s Era Music

I am a fan of harder rock, but I do love that 70s era Christian rock. Clean production, excellent musicianship, and mostly well written songs.
The minute I put Where Are The Other Nine on my cd player I thought the music had the Billy Smiley sound: top notch musicians, strong arrangements, and a singer that sounded like he believed in what he was singing.
Most of the songs on the cd are excellent, but the last few songs seemed to drag a little. Overall I would recommend this cd as a perfect example of 70s era fun albums that you will find yourself singing along to and listening to time and time again.

I bought this based on the description I saw on the website. It was good but not exactly what I was expecting. There were only4 songs that really rocked, the rest were definitely CCM based tracks. That’s ok though because I like that type of music too!

Where are the other nine?

‘Where Are The Other Nine?’ is a song I use to hear every Saturday on the local radio station. By the time I was old enough to go out and purchase a cd or cassette tape of it, it (and power discs) no longer existed. Many years went by, and the only place I could find it was on YouTube. I was mighty happy to find someone actually sold a hard copy (of sorts) of it. Plus, I enjoy getting the emails. To be honest, the owners’ enthusiasm for music is awesome (but if you’re going to sell music- it should be).
