Video: Singer Wows Simon Cowell and X-Factor Judges with “Alabaster Box”

Last updated on: August 2, 2016 at 11:19 am By DeWayne Hamby

I realize this is the third video in a row that I’ve posted and also that I posted it on Facebook already, but I am still wowed by this singer delivering a powerful version of CeCe Winans’ “Alabaster Box” and receiving a standing ovation from all judges and the audience. If you need a feel-good moment today, take a look. Read more

From the Church to the Charts: A Look at Contemporary Christian Music

Last updated on: October 28, 2013 at 7:10 am By DeWayne Hamby

Back in 2005, Christian Retailing was celebrating 50 years of publication with longer articles about different aspects of the Christian retail business. As the music editor, I was asked to put together this retrospective of what happened in those fifty years. It is by no means authoritative, but I had fun speaking with some of the people who I felt shaped the musical landscape, including Andrae Crouch, Bill Gaither, Amy Grant and Billy Ray Hearn. Now one of the most... Read more

Dove Awards 2013: Reunited Feels So Good

Last updated on: October 16, 2013 at 6:39 pm By DeWayne Hamby

My favorite singer! It was a reunion of sorts last night in Nashville as the annual Gospel Music Association Dove Awards returned to town after a two-year stint in Atlanta. In fact, the move back was the talk of the show, replacing the journalists’ regular token questions such as “Where are you going to put all of those awards?” and “Are they bringing more cookies to the pressroom?” The backstage area, enlarged and full of eager press, was where I...

Wonder Woman // a short film by Rainfall Films

Last updated on: August 2, 2016 at 11:21 am By DeWayne Hamby

I grew up watching Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman series, so I’ve always been curious to see how a movie would work. This answers the question to me. It’s a short film by Rainfall Films showing what it might look like on a larger scale. It’s a little dark, following the Dark Knight/Man of Steel model, but I still think it’s pretty cool. Your thoughts? Read more

Just Another Miley Cyrus Post

Last updated on: August 26, 2013 at 2:37 pm By DeWayne Hamby

I had no intention of writing about Miley Cyrus today, even though there are a lot of posts, comments, news reports and blogs going around about her lewd performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. I didn’t watch so I figured I’d sit back and let everyone who did watch say it better. I agree with those who believe it was in line with the awards show and we shouldn’t be too surprised. It’s all shock value anyway. To me,... Read more

LISTEN: Jonny Lang’s Blew Up (The House)

Last updated on: August 2, 2016 at 11:22 am By DeWayne Hamby

Jonny Lang’s Turn Around was one of my favorite albums of the 2000s. I went to the tour stop to support it at Knoxville’s Tennessee Theater and it blew me away. It didn’t include theatrics or even much stage banter, but just plenty of good guitar rock/blues talent. The publicist told me Jonny put on one of the best shows he’d ever seen. And he was right. It also didn’t hurt that we were given third row seats. Here’s a... Read more

The Real Disney Magic

Last updated on: August 8, 2013 at 2:49 pm By DeWayne Hamby

On Monday, we visited Disney’s Magic Kingdom with our three little princesses. Natalie, who’s three, had been once before, before she’d turned one. Back then, she recognized and loved Mickey and Minnie Mouse but has since gotten into more characters. So we knew her return trip would be special. Hailey and Hannah, who are turning one next week, were pretty much along for the ride. We thought they’d be “done” early and inconsolable because of the heat and interrupted schedule,... Read more

In My Daughter’s Eyes

Last updated on: May 10, 2013 at 6:46 pm By DeWayne Hamby

I didn’t expect to cry tonight and yet there I was, an absolute mess. When I arrived from work, I realized I had forgotten my laptop. No, I didn’t cry about that. I did worry for a moment that it had been stolen out of my bag while at the store, so I decided to go back to the office to find it. Natalie joined me for some company. As I drove, I moved the rear view mirror so I... Read more
