- Find Me in These Fields (1990)
Find Me in These Fields is the 12th solo album by Christian singer/songwriter/ guitarist Phil Keaggy. It was released on June 20, 1990 by Myrrh/Word Records. The album was produced by Keaggy and Lynn Nichols (credited once again as L. Arthur Nichols). Find Me in These Fields continues Keaggy's rock era that he started with 1988's Phil Keaggy and Sunday's Child, using studio musicians playing real live instruments. In addition to vocals and guitars, Keaggy also enlisted the same players from his last album: Rick Cua (bass guitar) and Mike Mead (drums), plus Keaggy's friend Phil Maderia on the piano and B-3 organ. There are five short acoustic and electric instrumental breaks that the listener will hear in between tracks. They were recorded live from the studio, direct to digital. The Christian radio lead single "Be In My Heart" is a cover written by John Perry and originally recorded by English singer Cliff Richard in 1982. It features backing vocals from Charlie Peacock and Keaggy's and Nichols' family members among them. The title song is a peaceful ballad with cello by John Catchings. Rock numbers include "Strong Tower," "This Side of Heaven" and "Get Over It." Find Me in These Fields was a best seller and peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. Keaggy earned his first Grammy nomination for Best Rock/Contemporary Gospel Album in 1991.

- 2nd Chapter of Acts
The 2nd Chapter of Acts was a Jesus music and early contemporary Christian music group composed of sisters Annie Herring and Nelly Greisen and brother Matthew Ward. They began performing in 1972 and enjoyed their period of greatest success during the 1970s. The group disbanded in 1988. 2nd Chapter of Acts began as a result of the trio singing at home together as Annie played the piano. Following the death of their parents (Elizabeth in 1968 and Walter Ward in 1970), Nelly and Matthew, still minors, moved in with their older sister, Annie, and her husband, recording engineer and producer, Buck Herring. Annie was a self-taught singer and songwriter who composed and played her songs around the family piano. Her brother and sister would often join in as she played, and eventually they developed extremely tight and intricate harmonies. They started singing for local coffee houses and small gatherings, then gained the notice of Pat Boone who arranged a contract to record and release two singles with MGM, "Jesus Is" (1972) and "I'm So Happy" (1973). The fledgling trio also came to the attention of 1960s folk singer Barry McGuire, who had recently become a Christian and was preparing to record his first Christian music album, produced by Buck Herring. The siblings provided background vocals for Seeds and McGuire's 1974 follow-up Lighten Up. The trio released their national debut album, With Footnotes, in 1974. This album featured "Easter Song" which would become a signature piece for the group and has been recorded by many other artists since. This was followed up with In the Volume of the Book in 1975, the year that also saw the release of a live album with Barry McGuire, To the Bride, which included "a band called David," who supported 2nd Chapter of Acts on tour. 2nd Chapter of Acts' first three releases were issued by Myrrh Records, and the group toured with McGuire intermittently for three years. The group went on a touring hiatus in 1976. Annie released her first solo record on the Sparrow Records label founded that year by the executive who had signed them to the Myrrh label, Billy Ray Hearn. For the summer of 1977, they were joined on an 18-city tour by Phil Keaggy and the result was the live triple album, How the West Was One. Their contract with Myrrh fulfilled, they moved as a group to Sparrow. Their Sparrow debut, Mansion Builder (1978) was followed up with The Roar of Love (1980) (a concept album inspired by C. S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe), Rejoice (1981), Singer Sower (1983), and Together Live (1983) (with Michael and Stormie Omartian). 2nd Chapter moved to their own Live Oak label with the release of Night Light in 1985, and their final recording of original material, Faraway Places in 1987. Between those albums, 2nd Chapter of Acts broadened their appeal with the release of Hymns and Hymns II, reaching audiences with more traditional music. Hymns proved to be their best-selling release, receiving a Dove Award for Praise and Worship Album of the Year in 1987. Except for two sabbatical years in 1976 and 1983, 2nd Chapter of Acts continued to tour until 1988. Their final concert was in Houston, Texas on August 12 of that year. 2nd Chapter was recognized by the Gospel Music Association in 1999 by their induction into its Gospel Music Hall of Fame. Annie and Matthew also recorded several solo projects during the 2nd Chapter of Acts years, and after they broke up. Both have continued to release new material and perform concerts.

- Evie
Evelyn Tornquist Karlsson (born Evelyn Tornquist; March 29, 1956), mononymously known as Evie, is an American Christian music singer, who was known in the late 1970s and early 1980s for songs such as "Mirror," "Step Into the Sunshine," "Come On, Ring Those Bells" and "Four Foot Eleven." She is considered one of the early pioneers of "easy listening" or "adult contemporary" Christian music. Evie has released more than 30 albums including several album either sung in Norweigian or Swedish. Born in the United States to Norwegian immigrants in Rahway, New Jersey, Evie began her singing career as a young teenager while visiting her parents' homeland. Evie sang in programs there on the family's frequent trips back and forth across the Atlantic, recording an album and performing on national television by age fourteen. For the next three years, she spent one week a month in Scandinavia and then, at age seventeen, recorded her first album for American audiences. Her self-titled debut album on Word Records, Evie, was a tremendous hit, featuring a range of songs from "Say I Do" to Andraé Crouch's "My Tribute." A year later in 1975, Evie released her second Word album, Evie Again, that featured Nancy Honeytree's "Clean Before My Lord." Gentle Moments was released in 1976 featuring more classic hits like "Pass It On," "Give Them All" and "Part the Waters." Evie's breakthrough album was Mirror released in 1977 featuring the title song, "Four Foot Eleven" and another Crouch cover "If Heaven Was Never Promised to Me." CCM Magazine named Mirror as one of the 100 greatest albums in Christian music in 2001. That same year, she released her first Christmas album Come On, Ring Those Bells featuring her signature title song. Both albums were Grammy nominated for Best Gospel Performance, Contemporary. Evie won back to back Dove Awards for Female Vocalist of the Year in 1977 and 1978. Evie continued to release albums like Never the Same, Unfailing Love and a Children's album titled A Little Song of Joy For My Little Friends. She married Swedish pastor and musician Pelle Karlsson in 1979 and retired from performing music in 1981 to pursue other avenues of ministry and to spend more time with her family. Evie made two albums with her husband Pelle in the early 1980s and even released an album titled Celebrate the Family in 1990 with Pelle and their two children Kris and Jenny and credited as Evie & the Karlssons. Evie later became a mentor to Christian musician Rebecca St. James, joining her for an event series geared toward helping girls and women apply biblical principles in the 21st century. Evie was officially inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame on February 22, 2005 and was one of the inaugural inductees to the Christian Music Hall of Fame.

When All is Said and Done is the 23rd studio and the 16th English language album by Christian singer Evie, released in October 1986 on Word Records. The album was produced and arranged by Pelle Karlsson. It was Evie's first solo album of new material in six years. During those times, Evie has put out a worship album (Restoration), a hymns album (Hymns) and her second Christmas album (Christmas, A Happy Time). When All is Said and Done marked a return to Evie's signature blend of devotional gospel and mid-tempo inspirational pop themes, reflecting a strong message of long-term faith, salvation, and resilience. The title track was released as the lead single. Although the song did well on the Inspirational chart, this was her final Top 20 appearance on the Christian AC chart. "United We Stand" is a vocal duet between Evie and her husband Karlsson. "Another Angel in the Sky" is based on Revelation 14:6 and at the time, she dedicated the song to the upcoming Dominion Satellite Network, known for creating and operating Sky Angel, a multi-channel satellite television and radio network dedicated strictly to Christian and family-oriented programming. When All is Said and Done did not chart on Billboard's Christian album chart. The album was issued on LP, cassette tape and CD when it was first released, but has since been out of print and is not on streaming platforms.

- Christmas, A Happy Time (1984)
Christmas, A Happy Time is the 22nd studio, 15th English language and second Christmas album by Christian singer Evie, released in October 1984 on Word Records. The album was produced and arranged by Pelle Karlsson. It follows up her first 1977 Christmas release Come On, Ring Those Bells with mid 1980s Christian pop arrangements, featuring prominent session musicians. Like Come On, Ring Those Bells, it blends traditional Christmas hymns with original tracks like the title song, "Shiloh Has Come" and "A Tiny Little Baby." Christmas, A Happy Time's centerpiece is "The Christmas Gospel Medley" in which Evie tells the story about the birth of Jesus to the children. It consisted of portions of "Silent Night," then Evie and the children sing "Jesus Name Above All Names" and the Karlsson original "The Name of Jesus." Christmas, A Happy Time climbed to No. 17 in January 1985 on the Billboard Top Inspirational Albums chart. The album was originally issued on LP and cassette tape when it was first issued. Although it was not available on CD by itself, all eight tracks, minus "The Christmas Gospel Medley," are on Evie's 1987 Christmas compilation release Christmas Memories. A YouTube playlist I compiled on this album is posted below this article. Track listing 1. Christmas, A Happy Time (Pelle Karlsson) -2:17 2.
