The Long Fall Back To Earth

著名福音摇滚乐队Jars of Clay(曾获得过格莱美年度最佳福音摇滚乐队奖)09年4月21号发行的大碟《The Long Fall Back to Earth》。 在美国，Jars of Clay的地位早已是毋庸质疑的，他们非凡的经历在灵歌界就是传奇。　 这个瓶瓶罐罐的传奇,从他们的成立开始。Jars of Clay首先就是一个有趣的名字，这个取自新约哥林多后书的名字在创团伊始就带给了4个男孩不错的运气，虽然身处Essential这个并不大的厂牌，但1995年单曲Flood的流行及专辑的热卖瞬间把Jars of Clay推上了福音类的上座。从1997年的《Much Afraid》开始，这几个男孩步入了他们歌唱生涯的颠峰，这张专辑成为了他们的首张Grammy获奖作品。随后连续推出的《If I Left The Zoo》和《The Eleventh Hour》又于00/02两获Grammy最佳当代福音专辑奖。不知不觉间，全美福音类最为畅销的就是Jars of Clay的作品。换句话说，他们不再是一个自娱自乐的小乐队，大牌一词象在M.J身上一样同样适用于Jars of Clay。 不过Jars Of Clay能够成功和其它福音音乐歌手划清界线，完全因为他们可以「独立创作」出极有水准的摇滚音乐。Jars Of Clay的音乐无可置异的出色，但他们亦不忘他们的精神和要传播的宗教讯息。 The Long Fall Back To Earth is the tenth studio album from Jars of Clay.
