The CCM Deep Dive Podcast

I don’t know who exactly does this or how long it will continue - but it takes an in depth look at each song of classic CCM albums. It is also packed with musicians giving stories behind the songs, their band history, and other fun stuff. After each feature the full track is featured for a great listening experience. Full confession that this review is based on the deep dive of best CCM album Whiteheart Freedom. Stunning to me that the is much detail is still out there all these years later. Look forward to the other albums listed - and whoever is doing this - please keep up the great work!

I always love hearing more about the stories behind art and creative pieces - and ESPECIALLY from artists and creators who are inspired by the ultimate Creator Himself! This podcast is such a gem and it’s so cool how it sheds light on the “behind the scenes” of these works, from the artists themselves. So eye-opening and inspiring, and points you back to Jesus and truth!!

This was tremendous! As one untimely born I did not get to witness this incarnation of White Heart (or any for that matter) live. Being born in 1988, I am perhaps, among a few individuals who are my age who not only love this album but would include it in their all time top 5 list. It has been a blessing to me in many times in my life. I cannot say how many times I sat in my car whether driving or just sitting parked and singing Over Me or The River Will Flow with everything that was in me due seasons of my life where the words blessed me. The only negative (and it’s not major) to this was there was obviously much more that could be said about the music writing/recording and the lyrics. Oh to have a sit down and talk to this group of men about it all, what a treat it would be. Thank you to the podcast creators and the Tommy, Ric/Rick/Riq/Rik, Mark, and Gordon for sharing about this all.

I have loved listening to these short podcasts about the Whiteheart Freedom album. Since I have been married to one of them for 30 years I have heard many of these stories numerous times but there are things that even I have learned and not heard before! These are such great men if God and it is so fun to hear them reminisce about the making of this legendary album. This was the heyday of good Christian music and getting a glimpse of what it was like behind the scenes is so much fun! I just wish they could have been longer, but that would have taken a whole week of interviews.
