Depending upon what music critic you prefer, today’s featured group is a mix between Christian blues and southern rock. I was fortunate to attend one of Three Crosses concerts in Chicago with my wife’s youth group while Leanne was still in youth ministry. Three Crosses’ most famous member is featured guitarist Andrew Krizan of the Spin Doctors.
For there was also an inscription above Him [l]in letters of Greek and Latin and Hebrew: This is the King of the Jews. 39 One of the criminals who was suspended kept up a railing at Him, saying, Are You not the Christ (the Messiah)? Rescue Yourself and us [[m]from death]! 40 But the other one reproved him, saying, Do you not even fear God, seeing you yourself are under the same sentence of condemnation and suffering the same penalty? 41 And we indeed suffer it justly, receiving the due reward of our actions; but this Man has done nothing out of the way [nothing [n]strange or eccentric or perverse or unreasonable]. 42 Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come [o]in Your kingly glory! – Luke 23:38-42
While Three Crosses’ debut album was mainly soft rock mixed with gospel music, the Jefferson Street album brings me back to my days of high school blaring the Doobie Brothers. One of the hit songs Welcome to the Jesus Movement hints to the Doobie Brothers classic Jesus is Just Alright with Me. If you liked the Doobie Brothers for their music, I hope you enjoy Three Crosses this week.
