Product Details

In 1985, contemporary Christian rock was undergoing a massive sonic revolution. Production was getting massive, guitars were getting heavier, and the hooks were getting bigger. Standing right at the vanguard of that movement was Steve Camp. His 1985 landmark album, Shake Me to Wake Me, wasn't just a musical triumph—it was a bold, confrontational, prophetic call to action that shook the CCM landscape.

Limited to just 300 copies total, with the first 100 units hand-numbered for the ultimate collector's item. 

Historical Context and Reception

Steve Camp, a multi-Grammy and Dove Award-nominated artist with over a million albums sold and 21 number-one singles to his credit, hit his definitive musical stride in the mid-1980s. Shake Me to Wake Me has been recognized by historians and critics as a vital cornerstone of the era, earning a coveted spot on the CCM's 500 Best Albums Of All Time retrospective list.

Reviewers and fans alike have long praised the album for breaking the barriers of Christian radio at the time. While critics noted that the massive, keyboard-driven pop-rock and searing guitar solos pushed the sonic edges of mainstream formats, it was Camp's urgent, confrontational lyrics that truly set the record apart. Retrospective reviews highlight tracks like "Stranger to Holiness" (which peaked at #5 on the CCM charts) as "hauntingly anointed" and deeply convicting. The album also features his celebrated, powerful cover of Keith Green’s "Asleep in the Light."

Recorded at some of the most legendary studios of the era—including Sunset Sound and Bill Schnee Studios in Los Angeles—Shake Me to Wake Me features a powerhouse lineup of studio musicians, including guitarists Dann Huff and Michael Landau, and keyboardist Alan Pasqua. Co-produced by Camp alongside Rob Frazier (Petra) and John Rosasco, the album seamlessly moves between hard-hitting, guitar-driven rock and polished West Coast AOR pop, also featuring the soaring duet "Surrender Your Heart" with Susanne Norman.
