Christian songwriter Rich Mullins began work on the songs that make up THE JESUS RECORD. He passed away just a few days after laying down the demos. His musical accomplices, the Ragamuffin Band, salvaged the tapes, vowing to keep Mullin's legacy alive. The result was this two-disc set. The first disc consists of Mullins compositions performed by the Ragamuffin Band and sung by various guest vocalists, including Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant and Ashley Cleveland.
The fully-produced songs on the first disc combine undiluted spirituality with state-of-the-art pop/rock production. The second disc, which features cleaned-up versions of Mullins' actual demos, is less sonically elaborate, but full of the dedication and faith that characterize Mullins' music and THE JESUS RECORD itself.
