  • Sacred Journey (1993)

    Sacred Journey is the seventh studio album by the Christian music group First Call , released in 1993 on Myrrh/Word Records. It would be their final album on Word Records in general since being on the label in 1985 on two different subsidiary labels: DaySpring and Myrrh. Sacred Journey continues the themes explored on their previous album Human Song but with more of an unplugged and live-in studio sound. The group got involved not just in songwriting but in production as they produced the album themselves along with producers Darrell Brown and David Battheu. The title of the album is taken from a book by Presbyterian minister Fredrick Buechner that stresses the sanctity of all of life. Freedom in Christ is the central theme and is reflected in some of the songs. Music videos were made for the singles "Freedom" and "Evidence of Love." Sacred Journey peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. On a side note, this is the final album to feature vocalist Marabeth Jordan. In 1994, Jordan was involved in an extra-martial affair with Christian singer Michael English, with whom the group had recently toured. The ensuing publicity had a devastating personal and professional effect on the group and the individuals involved. Jordan subsequently left the group and Marty McCall and Bonnie Keen continued on as a duo. Track listing 1. Wanna Be (Bonnie Keen, Darrell Brown, David Battheu) -4:44 2.

It is the first album to feature vocalist and session singer Marabeth Jordan, who replaced Melodie Tunney to continue on as a trio. Human Song continues their pop sound heard from their previous album God is Good , but with more of an emphasis on dealing with trials endemic to the human condition such as divorce, abuse and real-life problems. First Call covers two songs: "Ring Them Bells" by Bob Dylan and "Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing" by Stevie Wonder. The songs "Broken Places" and "I Will Always Come Back to You" were hits on the Christian radio charts. All three members were involved with songwriting input.

  • God is Good (1989)

    God is Good is the fifth studio album by the Christian music group First Call . Released in the fall of 1989, the trio switched to Word Records' Myrrh label for this album. The album is produced by Keith Thomas. A departure from their Manhatten Transfer-type sound of vocal jazz, God is Good is a straight-ahead pop album with Thomas handling the arrangements and the trio getting more involved in songwriting input. Most critics have said this is one of their best albums. With only nine songs on God is Good , five songs were released as Christian radio singles from the fall of 1989 to the spring of 1991, including a pop jazz cover of "Forgiven," originally recorded by The Imperials . After being one of the founding members since 1984, Melodie Tunney left the group amicably in 1990 to join her husband, Dick Tunney, in their own concert and songwriting ministry, while maintaining her friendship with Marty McCall and Bonnie Keen and the song "Legacy" reflects that. Vocalist and session singer Marabeth Jordan joined McCall and Keen and replaced Tunney to continue on as a trio in the 1990s. God is Good peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Top Christian Albums chart. In 1990, the trio was nominated for a Dove Award for Group of the Year and a year later, the album was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album giving them their fourth and final Grammy nomination.

It is the trio's second non-holiday album following up their 1986 release Undivided , featuring the same formula of contemporary pop with vocal jazz and big band with production by Neal Joseph and David Maddux. Some of the songs also draw some comparisons to fellow Christian vocal trio 2nd Chapter of Acts like "Lord of All" and "The Reason We Sing" with their harmonies and the highlight is the track "O Sifuni Mungu," which is the hymn "All Creatures of Our God and King" sung in Swahili with its African ambient sound.

    Superpower is the seventh, and to date, final studio album by the Christian music husband and wife duo Farrell and Farrell . This is their first and only album released on Word Records' DaySpring label in 1989. Superpower is produced by Mike Demus and Tom Hemby with Bob Farrell serving as executive producer. Both Demus and Hemby are studio musicians and songwriters. The album is a departure from their new wave/techno pop of their previous albums, especially from the Star Song Records period from 1984 to 1987.

A music video was made for the track "Heart of the Homeless." In 1991 after the release of Superpower , the duo decided to retire from touring and recording, although wife Jayne does some occasional solo touring, husband Bob wanted to focus more on songwriting and producing.
