Town to Town  is the sixth solo album by Christian singer/songwriter/guitarist Phil Keaggy . It was released in late October 1981 and is his second album on Sparrow Records. Keaggy co-produced the album with Bob Cotton. Town to Town opens with a new wave type rocker "Wished You Were There," in which Keaggy dedicated the track to his fellow Glass Harp members John Sferra and Daniel Pecchio. Christian vocalist Michele Pillar provides backing vocals on "Full Circle" and sings a duet with Keaggy on the track "What a Wonder You Are." The final track "Let Everything Else Go" is a fine ballad with inspired lyrics. It has also become a concert favorite. Keaggy has written and arranged the entire album. Town to Town was reissued in 1991 by Myrrh/Word Records, along with Ph'lip Side and Play Thru Me on 2 CDs. It's on "This Disc" (Disc 1) but with a different track listing.

His second album Days of Grace was released in 1996 with another hit, the 70s disco-fueled "Love the Lord." Long released three more albums in the lates 1990s and into the 2000s: Jesus Saves (1998), Now (2001) and Born Again (2004). On May 13, 2000, Long married Avalon member Janna Potter.

Called is the 11th studio album by the Christian vocal group Avalon . It was released by Red Street Records/The Fuel Music on February 14, 2020. This album is their first release of new music in over a decade and also saw the return of original Avalon member Jody McBrayer and the addition of new member Dani Rocca. After the release of their 2009 album Reborn , Avalon, at the time, consisted of two couples: Greg and Janna Long and Jeremi and Amy Richardson. Without a label, Avalon was touring and was spending time with their respected families throughout the 2010s. The Longs served as music worship leaders at their church during their downtime. Nearly a decade after joining the group, the Richardsons decide to leave and stopped touring on August 7, 2018. A couple of months later, Avalon announced on their Facebook page the return of McBrayer and the addition of Rocca. Later on October 24, 2018, Avalon signed with Red Street Records, a new label launched by Rascal Flatts bassist Jay DeMarcus. DeMarcus was the one half of the 1990s Christian music duo East to West. Before the album was released, Avalon released their first Christian radio single in over a decade, "Keeper of My Heart," in July 2019 and then went on a 10-date tour a couple of months later featuring the new line-up. Called features the group's signature vocal harmonies across 10 tracks, blending adult contemporary sounds with modern flourishes. The album was produced by DeMarcus and Don Koch. Track listing 1.

A Maze of Grace is the second studio album by the Christian vocal group Avalon , released on December 26, 1997 by Sparrow Records. The album was produced by Charlie Peacock and Christopher Harris. Released exactly one year after their self-titled debut album , A Maze of Grace continues Avalon's mix of upbeat pop songs and ballads. It is considered a breakthrough album, due in part to its lead single "Testify to Love." The lyrics focus on the idea that every part of creation—from the colors of the rainbow to simple acts of mercy—serves as a testimony to God's love. The chorus emphasizes a lifelong commitment to being a "witness in the silences" and giving thanks to God with every breath. "Testify to Love" was written by Paul Field, Henk Pool, Ralph Vanmanen and Robert Riekerk and it would become Avalon's signature song and the most recognized, hitting the top of The CCM Update 's Christian AC chart where it stayed for six weeks. CCM Magazine named it one of the 100 Greatest Songs in Christian Music in 2006, placing it at number 23. A Maze of Grace also garnered three more number one songs for Avalon: "Adonai," "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" and "Reason Enough." The album charted and peaked on the following Billboard albums charts: -#6 Top Christian Albums -#8 Heatseekers Albums -#153 Billboard 200 Albums (their first appearance) In 1999, Avalon racked up 5 Dove Award nominations including Artist of the Year and Group of the Year, but won two at the 30th GMA Dove Awards in the song categories: Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for "Testify to Love" and Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year for "Adonai." That same year, the album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It is the first of two Gold-certified albums Avalon achieved. After the release of A Maze of Grace , Nikki Hassman (now Anders) left the group to pursue a solo career with Sony Music. It was the first of many personnel changes Avalon went through in their recording career. Member Janna Long is the only one from Avalon to stay through its incarnations as a group. Track listing 1.

The Greatest Hits is the official second compilation album by the Christian vocal group Avalon . It was released on February 20, 2009 by Sparrow Records. This collection contains 15 of Avalon's best-known songs. Many of them have appeared previously on their first compilation album Testify to Love , plus one brand new track and Christian radio single "Still My God." It is the first recording with new member Jeremi Richardson and the last recording with Melissa Greene, as she left the group after this release. Ironically, Greene was a member at the beginning on Testify to Love singing on the new tracks and now ending her time with Avalon on this release with one new song. "Still My God" focuses on the sovereignty and faithfulness of God regardless of life's circumstances. Its lyrics contrast "standing on a mountain" with "drowning in a sea," reinforcing that God remains constant in both highs and lows. The song peaked at number 2 on Radio & Records Christian Inspo chart, just a few weeks before the trade magazine folded and transfered all the Christian radio airplay data over to Billboard in June 2009. The Greatest Hits also includes their most recent songs like "All," "You Were There," "Orphans of God" and "In Christ Alone." But unlike Testify to Love , this compilation album did not chart on the Top Christian Albums or the Billboard 200. Avalon ended their contract with Sparrow and were in the studio recording their next album Reborn to be released later in 2009. Track listing 1.

Paris has been regarded as a modern-day hymn writer because most of her songs are focused on the church and Christ-centered. Paris also writes Christian pop songs of the day. Paris' songs such as "Lamb of God," "He Is Exalted" and "We Bow Down" are now being sung in churches worldwide and are examples of her hymn songwriting style. As a child she released her first album, Little Twila Paris , in 1965. The album included songs drawn from among those she sang with her family in their evangelistic outreaches. Since 1980, Paris has released close to 20 albums, amassed many number one Christian Radio singles, and was named the Gospel Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year three years in a row at the Dove Awards from 1993 to 1995.

God Shed His Grace: Songs of Truth and Freedom the official third compilation album by Christian singer - songwriter Twila Paris . It was released on February 28, 2012 by Mountain Spring Music/MNRK Music Group (formerly E1 Music). God Shed His Grace is not your typical "greatest hits" album. Paris hand-picked 11 songs from her catalog that create a timeline of historical and spiritual commentary. Described as a "patriotic-themed" album and as a "love letter and prayer to America," the tracks were chosen for their focus on current events and biblical worldviews. "God Is In Control" (from Beyond a Dream ) was written as a response to Paris' concerns regarding the nation's direction. "What Did He Die For" (from Where I Stand ), particularly the first verse, was inspired by the 50th anniversary of D-Day and the sacrifice of soldiers. "I See You Standing" (from Cry For the Desert ) was inspired by the 1989 events in Tiananmen Square, are just some of the examples of what this project is about. Paris recorded two new tracks of patriotic hymns for this collection: "God of Our Fathers" and "America the Beautiful." The purpose of the project is to inspire patriots with themes of God's protection and love, even in difficult times. The new tracks are not available on digital formats. A YouTube link to "America the Beautiful" is posted below this article. John Hartley, who produced Paris' previous release Small Sacrifice , produced the new tracks.

Reborn 's sound is more rock-oriented, even though Avalon is considered a Christian AC act, their new sound could rank up there with other Christian Rock acts like Third Day, Jeremy Camp and Casting Crowns. The group seizes the chance to start over by delivering passionate performances emphasizing their trademark harmony sound. The album was produced by Ian Eskelin and Barry Weeks. Eskelin and Weeks helped to give Reborn a modern edge on some of the songs like "Feel" and the title song. "California" serves as a spiritual metaphor for stepping out in faith and moving toward a "promised land" or a new season of life led by God. The ballads "Arise" and "Alive" were the only singles released to Christian radio. Reborn debuted and peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart for a week before dropping off. After the release of Reborn , Avalon continued to tour into the 2010s with the Longs and the Richardsons and with no record label, there was no new album throughout that period until 2018 when Jeremi and Amy left Avalon and later Jody McBrayer returned along with new member Dani Rocca to record their 2020 release Called .
