Much Afraid is the second studio by the American rock band Jars of Clay, released on September 9, 1997 by Essential Records/Provident Music Group and Silvertone/Jive Records. The album was produced by Stephen Lipson, who's best known for producing albums by Michael W. Smith, Annie Lennox, Rod Stewart and Paul McCartney among others and it was recorded in London, U.K. at The Aquarium and in Franklin, Tennessee at Secret Sound. Robert Beeson served as executive producer. Much Afraid is the official follow up to their successful 1995 self-titled debut album Jars of Clay and marked a significant shift lyrically and musically. There are more electric guitars this time around, but has kept some acoustic guitars on some of the tracks that worked well previously heard from its predecessor. The album's lead single, "Crazy Times," immediately topped The CCM Update's Christian CHR chart and was moderately successful at mainstream radio where it peaked at No. 38 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks (renamed Alternative Airplay) chart. The second single "Five Candles (You Were There)" was another Christian radio success topping the Christian CHR chart. The track was initially written for the soundtrack to the film Liar Liar starring Jim Carrey, but it was cut from the credits in favor of a blooper reel. A working title of the song during the writing and recording studio sessions was "The Wish," which fits with the themes of Liar Liar, just as the eventual title "Five Candles," because the story revolves around the wish Max made as he blew out the five candles for his fifth birthday. The song was later used in the 1998 Michael Keaton film, Jack Frost, and was featured on that film's soundtrack. "Fade to Grey" and "Frail" were both originally from the group's demo recording Frail in 1994. All other tracks from that demo were recorded for the debut album Jars of Clay in 1995, but due to time and budget constraints they weren't able to record the track. The versions of these songs included on Much Afraid have changed significantly with some lyrical and overall arrangement changes, especially "Frail," which was previously an instrumental piece and now contained lyrics. Notably, these songs were two of the first songs written by Jars of Clay. "Fade to Grey" was released as the third Christian radio single and topped the Christian CHR chart and "Overjoyed" (the album's opener) also topped the CHR chart, giving Jars of Clay four number ones hits off of Much Afraid. Other singles were released such as "Hymn" (No. 38 Christian AC) and "Truce" (No. 1 Christian Rock). Much Afraid debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Top Christian Albums and at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, giving the band their highest charting position on the latter chart, compared to Jars of Clay which peaked at No. 46 in 1996. Much Afraid's album sales slid down significantly after its debut peak on the Billboard 200, but despite that, it was still a best seller going Gold and Platinum selling over a million copies by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In 1998, Jars of Clay won their first Grammy Award for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album at the 40th Grammy Awards and at the 29th GMA Dove Awards, the band won Group of the Year for the second consecutive year. The Japanese CD edition of Much Afraid also contained two bonus tracks: "The Chair" and the instrumental "Sleepers." Both tracks were originally found on the "Crazy Times" CD single. In 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, the band rerecord Much Afraid and performed the album in its entirety in the studio and issued it as In Studio Performance of the "Much Afraid" Album on their own label Gray Matters selling it for a limited time with only 400 vinyls sold on black vinyl. The sales of the album benefited COVID-19 relief and prevention programs in Eastern and Southern Africa by way of the website bloodwater.org.

Drummer Boy is first extended play by the American rock band Jars of Clay, originally released in the fall of 1995 by Essential Records/Brentwood Music. It was released as a follow-up to their self-titled debut album, due to the success of their breakthrough hit "Flood." The original 1995 EP contained only four tracks: "Little Drummer Boy" (original and Grinch Mix versions), "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" and an acoustic version of their Jars of Clay track "He." Drummer Boy was re-issued in 1997 by Silvertone/Jive Records, but with a slightly different track listing also with four songs: only "Little Drummer Boy" versions remained intact, "Blind" (Fluffy Sav Mix) and "Wicker Baskets," which is an original instrumental piece recorded during the sessions of their second full-length album Much Afraid. This 1997 EP was reissued after the release of Much Afraid. Drummer Boy charted in 1995 and peaked on the following Billboard albums charts: -#5 Top Christian Albums -#101 Billboard 200 -#19 Top Holiday Albums in 1999 Track listing on the 1995 extended play 1.

Front Yard Luge is a 1999 live extended play by the American rock band Jars of Clay. It was distributed primarily as a pre-order incentive for their third studio album, If I Left the Zoo, and was reportedly limited to just 5,000 physical copies. In early 1999, the band spent two weeks brainstorming and songwriting in a secluded studio in Decorah, Iowa. Following a heavy snowfall, the band members took a creative detour, moved their activities outside, and built a mini luge track in the snow in the front yard. While the detour didn't directly assist the writing process, the band credited the fun distraction with inspiring the upbeat, adventurous tone of If I Left the Zoo, and they used the memory to name this exclusive EP. The live EP contains five cover songs including the Petra classic "Rose Colored Stained Glass Windows,"Swingtown" by The Steve Miller Band, the Brian Wilson-penned "God Only Knows" plus their own compositions "Liquid" (from Jars of Clay) and "The Coffee Song." A studio version of "The Coffee Shop" can be heard on their 2000 rarities album The White Elephant Sessions. A YouTube link to listen to Front Yard Luge is posted below this article. Track listing 1.

Roaring Lambs is a collaborative various artists project that was released on May 30, 2000 by Squint Entertainment/Word Records. It is based on the book of the same name Roaring Lambs: A Gentle Plan to Radically Change Your World by Bob Briner, original published in 1993. Conceived and directed by art director Dave Palmer, and produced by Steve Taylor and various producers, the recording includes a number of CCM artists' musical interpretations of Briner's message about the need to have a positive impact on their culture. Its core purpose was to mirror Briner's message: challenging Christians to leave the safety of religious subcultures, excel in their respective crafts, and actively shape mainstream culture. Roaring Lamb's highlights include the track "Kingdom Come" by PFR. At the time, PFR, which consisted of Joel Hanson, Patrick Andrew and Mark Nash, reunited for this recording, after taking a hiatus from their 1996 release Them. The song was a big hit for the trio and it warranted them a follow-up album Disappear releasing the following year. "Out There" is a vocal duet with Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith, "'Akehlulek' Ubaba (With God Everything is Possible)" is performed by the Grammy-winning African men's vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo with producer Charlie Peacock on the piano, giving the song a world beat sound reminiscent of Paul Simon's Graceland album, for which Ladysmith Black Mambazo participated in. Also included is a cover of Canadian singer - songwriter Bruce Cockburn's "Wondering Where the Lions Are" recorded by Bill Mallonee and Vigilantes of Love. "Headstrong" by Jars of Clay is an outtake from the If I Left the Zoo recording sessions. Roaring Lambs debuted and peaked at number 15 on the Top Christian Albums and at number 19 on the Top Independent Albums charts in Billboard magazine. In 2001, the project was nominated in two Dove Award categories: Special Event Album of the Year and for the track "Shortstop" by Taylor for Modern Rock/ Alternative Recorded Song of the Year. The album cover won a technical Dove Award for Recorded Music Packaging of the Year given to Palmer, Buddy Jackson, Karinne Caulkins-Jackson and Ben Pearson. An updated companion book of Roaring Lambs was also released to accompany the CD. Roaring Lambs is not available on digital platforms.

PFR is a Christian rock group from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Although the group initially disbanded in 1997, they periodically reunited from 2001 to 2013 and recorded two albums in that time. They reunited again in 2022. Their name was originally "Pray for Rain", but was changed to "PFR" to avoid a conflict with another musical group. The trio consisted of members Joel Hanson on guitars and vocals, Patrick Andrew on bass and vocals and Mark Nash on drums. PFR was founded in 1989 as the Joel Hanson Band by Joel Hanson, who was a camp counselor at Camp Shamineau, a Christian youth camp in Minnesota. In 1991, the band, then known as Inside Out, was signed to Brown Bannister's newly founded Vireo Records. After signing, Patrick Andrew suggested the band change the name to "Pray for Rain" after a line from a poem. In 1992, the band released their debut album Pray for Rain. Shortly after releasing the first album, an existing band (an instrumental group who did soundtrack work) known as Pray for Rain threatened a lawsuit, leading the band to settle on the name PFR. The first album was reissued with a slightly modified cover to reflect the change. In 1993, PFR released their second album, Goldie's Last Day, whose title track was inspired by the passing of Patrick Andrew's pet golden retriever. Also that year, the band recorded a cover of "We Can Work It Out" by The Beatles with Phil Keaggy for the various artists tribute CD Come Together: America Salutes The Beatles. PFR released their third album Great Lengths in the fall of 1994 and later toured with the Christian alternative band Jars of Clay. The band released their fourth album Them in 1996 and then announced their breakup. In 1997, PFR released their "best of" collection The Late, Great PFR containing three new tracks. Over the next 5 years, the band reunited for an occasional benefit concert. In 2000, when Mark Nash was working as the A & R director of Squint Records, the band returned to the studio to contribute to Steve Taylor's Roaring Lambs compilation album, inspired by the book by Bob Briner. Working on the project inspired the band to sign to Taylor's Squint Records and record 2001's Disappear. The album did not gain much exposure, however, due to Squint Records selling to Warner Music Group, which also displaced artists such as Chevelle and Sixpence None the Richer. Another casualty of the Squint shakeup was the PFR cover of Paul McCartney's "Wonderful Christmastime" recorded for a 2001 Squint Christmas compilation that was never released. However, the recording has been released digitally through the band's MySpace page. In 2002, PFR recorded a cover of "Livin' Thing," originally recorded by Electric Light Orchestra. In 2004 PFR released The Bookhouse Recordings, an album consisting of PFR classics rearranged, plus three new songs. The Bookhouse Recordings was recorded in one week at the end of August 2004 in Nashville, TN at Mark Nash's studio. This was the first album produced by the band alone, and features the song "Prayer For Beslan," a song mourning the terrorist attacks on a Russian school the same week the band was recording. The Bookhouse Recordings was released exclusively through Family Christian Stores, and was on the Fuseic label started by Rick Altizer. Hanson released three solo albums, Broken (2001), Captured (2002) and What If It Is (2009) and a self-released Christmas EP Arise the King is Coming (2010). Patrick Andrew formed Eager following the 1997 break-up of PFR, and was signed to Questar/Mission Records, releasing a self-titled album in 1998, before Eager also disbanded. In 2004, Andrew released his first solo album, There and Then It's Gone. The band still does occasional one-off reunion shows, including a run of shows in 2012, a couple in their hometown of Minneapolis in October 2022, and one in Nashville on March 8, 2023. In 2024, PFR has announced a new studio album entitled Target and the Arrow as a GoFundMe campaign project to cover the cost for studio time. While tracking began in 2024, the album's release timeline shifted because the band pivoted in 2025 to launch a concurrent Kickstarter campaign to remaster and legally rescue their "lost" 2001 album, Disappear, from streaming obscurity. Disappear, as of June 2026, is available on streaming platforms. PFR will release Target and the Arrow on digital platforms on September 22, 2026. A later date will be announced for its physical release on vinyl and CD.
