The Praise Collection

Performer: Petra
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: When the pioneering praise and worship band Petra recorded THE ROCK CRIES OUT in 1989, they were virtually alone their field. Released in 2006 to a considerably larger and more receptive audience, this two-CD set collects that original album and their 1997 release WE NEED JESUS. Here, classic early worship songs like "Jesus, Jesus Glorious One," "The King of Glory Shall Come In," and "I Will Call Upon the Lord" share the spotlight with more recent offerings, like "Lord I Lift Your Name on High" and "Let Your Voices Rise Like Incense."

Petra are far and away the most popular--and important--Christian rock band of all time. They pioneered the idea of using rock forms (particularly anthemic arena rock) as a means to spread the gospel of Christ, and in the process they sold millions of records and gave rise to the Contemporary Christian Music industry, which has grown by leaps and bounds since Petra first appeared in the early 1970s. While Petra have undergone several line-up changes through the years and shifted their sound in order to stay current with rock trends, the band's enormous popularity and its message have remained constant into the new millennium.
