The Crossover Connection Week 20: Idle Cure-The Christian Version of 80’s Rock

Posted on June 17, 2023 by expressyourself4him
One of my college roommates introduced me to road trips. My most memorable weekend getaways were attending retreats or serving as a member of a Lay Witness Mission church revival. Whether I was going to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland or some other state, the attached you tube album was often the cassette tape playing in my car stereo. As a big fan of rock groups like Boston, the Cars and Yes, Idle Cure has a great mix of ballads and classic rock to make the miles in any vehicle fly by.

O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all who forsake You shall be put to shame. They who depart from You and me [Your prophet] shall [disappear like] writing upon the ground, because they have forsaken the Lord, the Fountain of living waters.14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise, Jeremiah 17:13-14.

My favorite song on Idle Cure’s debut album relates to road trips, entitled Overdrive. This song has it all with a little bit of the Rocky IV soundtrack, a guitar solo and the fast pace to stay awake while driving at night. Like any band who is on tour for nearly decade, Idle Cure evolved with each of their 5 albums. Perhaps, to meet the changing demands of the 1990’s, Idle Cure eased up on the rock and roll to transition toward what I call Pop Rock. As a new week unfolds, I hope you have time to check out all 5 of Idle Cure’s albums on You Tube.
